Dani EdiriweeraPre-Licensed Professional

About

I believe therapy is advocacy. I want therapy to be a space where my clients can learn about themselves, rest, and when they are ready, advocate for changes that move them towards their best life. I find that those of us with numerous marginalized identities have already been advocating for ourselves our whole life. However, we shouldn’t have to do this alone. This is why I'm particularly interested in working with those of us who are at the intersection of numerous marginalized identities, including BIPOC, LGBTQ+ immigrants, South Asians, first- and second-generation immigrants, college students, LGBTQ+ young adults, and adults. I bring a blend of professional experience across the medical field, legal profession, and advocacy work in housing rights, criminal justice, and immigration. I draw on my lived experience to guide my trauma-informed practice and integrate DBT, narrative, somatic, family systems, and other evidence-based approaches into my clinical practice.
