About My Clients
I light up when I'm working with clients around self-image, body image, sexuality, and racial ðnic identity wounds. If you're someone who perpetually worries about not being good enough and doesn't know why, I'm here to help you explore what parts of your personal and cultural history are showing up in the present.
My Background and Approach
I use a psychodynamic, relational approach. I believe in processing the deeper meaning behind your past experiences before moving into reframing your present day thoughts or planning your future. I take my time learning about your family of origin, past relationships, and relationship to the culture at large. I know intimately what it is like to live in the "in-between" space between cultures. I use this experience to check myself from making assumptions about how others experience their multiple identities, and I do my best to always listen for nuance.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that we can all be loved without hiding who we really are and that relationships can be radically healing. I believe that some of the most powerful forces in our lives can be really painful stories that we aren't even fully aware of, and that therapy can help us better know what's getting in the way of feeling good enough.
