About This Provider:
Franceska ensures that clients receive unconditional care, authenticity, respect for client’s unique stories, nurtures the environment to promote trust and safety, and leaves space for humor. She embraces the strengths and diversity of each client and believes it is a privilege to walk with clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life and recognizes that they are the expert in their experience. She believes that therapy is not only for when people are experiencing challenges, but also to prepare for when new ones arise. Franceska is a bi-racial Asian-Caucasian woman, who is passionate about racial and ethnic diversity, equity, and inclusion. She understands the unique barriers to acculturation and has a deep understanding of the impacts of multilayered systemic oppression and is committed to providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. Franceska has a special interest in working with those who have been historically underserved and marginalized such as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and mixed-race individuals, as well as individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community. Outside the therapy space, Franceska is interested in social policy and research. In her free time, she enjoys crafting, listening to podcasts, and going on walks at lakes. Franceska is also a clinical supervisor.
Franceska typically works with clients 4 days a week. Franceska also supervises a social work intern, Kaitlin Eto.
