The work of learning and unlearning never stops, so "advanced" can be a misnomer. I am dedicated to always educating myself, centering the voices of those less ambiguously racialized than myself, and specifically addressing my internalized white supremacy from growing up in so-called Amerika.
In my work with white clients, addressing white supremacy is an integral and non-negotiable part of the work because it negatively impacts everyone and all parts of life.
Autism, ADHD, AuDHD, various neurodevelopmental and/or mental health conditions, TBIs, Deaf/HoH, full- and part-time wheelchair users, full- and part-time mobility aid users, hypermobility spectrum conditions, dysautonomia and POTS, Dwarfism, cancer, brain tumors, pelvic pain, chronic pain, various GI conditions, neuropathy, and more.
As a mostly invisibly disabled person, I will always be learning about disabled lived experiences I don't have. It is important that I educate myself outside of sessions with clients and center the experiences of those who face ableism at every turn, especially when combined with racism.
