Statement of Positionality: As a white, cis-gender female, I am aware of privileges and accesses that my identity affords me. I understand that individuals from other races and ethnicities, trans and gender-nonconforming people, and other marginalized groups have a much different experience in our culture and society than I do. I seek to not only respect, but honor and address the differences between my clients and myself when it could be a barrier to us working together in therapy.
