Bridget (she/her) identifies as female, black/mixed/BIPOC, and neurodivergent. With lived experience of this intersectionality and intergenerational and family-of-origin trauma, Bridget feels she can connect with clients with similar experiences. She finds representation, affirmation, and validation of minoritized identities and experiences vital to the practice of trauma-informed care. Bridget employs an empathic, curious, and holistic approach. She strives to consider all potential factors when it comes to client intervention, including social, environmental, personal, and systemic. Her approach can be seen as a collaborative puzzle, wherein she and her client work on finding the missing pieces together and employ coping and healing strategies for pieces yet to be found. In Bridget’s off time, she enjoys music, nature, yoga, dance, and connecting with her local community.
