About My Clients
As a woman of color with many other identities, I understand how limiting and unsafe it can feel for those with diverse backgrounds seeking support, honest expression, relatability, and genuine understanding in a non-judgmental environment. I work best with clients who are curious about their current unhelpful cycles and want to explore healthy ways to change their mindset, relationships, and approach to issues.
My Background and Approach
Therapy with me looks like me attuning to you and asking a lot of questions so I can develop a true understanding of your reality. I might challenge your current navigation of the issues you are experiencing by reframing your narrative, and requesting you participate in different exercises to explore and encourage potential perspective shifts. With couples and families, it's about getting out of the mentality of "winning"; it's about each member developing empathy for oneself and the other so issues feel less like a personal attack. With individuals, it's developing the love and care for oneself to be grounded in how they want to live and identify, not how they've been conditioned to. Ideally my clients would learn to function from a mindful and authentic place, and less of a comfortable autopilot that doesn't feel positively true to them.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Regardless of gender, sexuality, race, or ability; we all experience isms and receive labels and messages from society and our upbringing that attempt to dictate how we operate in relation with others, what we’re worth, and how we perceive ourselves. I understand that the labels we receive from others, and the way we see ourselves are often times conflicting. These messages and attention or lack thereof can have a negative impact on our self-esteem, relationships, communication capabilities, perception of those around us, and self-worth. I offer a space to unpack these inconsistencies to discover contentment and congruence of self. The work I do with my clients is the work I continuously do with myself. I believe there is abundant healing in doing the work not as the expert above you, but as the person who has had similar experiences walking along side you.
