About My Clients
Our experiences shape how we think, feel, and participate in the world. From individual personality, to family of origin, to cultural context, the interaction of internal and external can result in feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulty in relationships, or confusion about identity. Sometimes all that’s needed is short-term help that focuses on developing better coping skills, and other times deep, long-term, insight-oriented work is necessary to disentangle complex lifelong difficulties.
My Background and Approach
I focus on developing a trusting therapeutic relationship, which sets the foundation to process painful experiences and celebrate meaningful change. By exploring the richness of your internal world and your interpersonal experiences, we will gain insight into the underlying forces that influence the way you think, feel, and behave. I will collaborate with you to manage overwhelming feelings, integrate traumatic experiences, and help identify and remove the obstacles that block your natural ability to grow. With new clarity, you'll be able to break unhelpful patterns, heal from psychological wounds, and move forward in your life with mindful intentionality.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
We each have differing experiences in the world based on race, gender identity, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and other important demographic characteristics. These differences result in unique cultural experiences, as well as experiences of privilege or oppression. It is my job to educate myself on your cultural context, tailor treatment to align with your value system, and develop insight into the impact of my own cultural particularities on our work together.
