About My Clients
Do you often worry what other people will think? And quite frequently try to guess that it is probably not good? Do you find that you doubt yourself and your decisions? Finding that faith in who we are, and accepting that confidently and with pride is a journey. But you don't have to do it alone. Learning self-compassion and self-accountability also includes self-knowing and contextualizing-- and I can walk you through those lessons.
My Background and Approach
My personal practice is rooted in two key elements: Accountability and Compassion. Accountability for you and me, and compassion for you and your journey. My ultimate goal for all my patients is this: to reach a point you are able to say "I know what this feeling is, why I have it, and I know exactly how to take care of it." For this purpose, I assign you homework in between sessions to help you practice what you learn in therapy and to make the tangible and visible progress you want to see. And of course, taking into account your various identities: from race to gender, to socio-economic standing, is also important. How does being a person of color affect the way you experience the world? How does it affect your mental health? And how can we help heal it?
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that anyone heal. But in order to do that, we need to gain understanding about your patterns and history so that we can health treat the ROOT f the problem and help you build tools that will help you for the rest of your life. I also believe in contextualizing your symptoms: understanding how your family, community, and world interactions affect your wounds. There is a reason you developed your patterns-- most likely they helped you get here. But how do we let go of what no longer helps us? It's a journey and lesson we learn in
