About My Clients
My integrative approach seeks to identify patterns in your history and how they are impacting your lived experience today. I will collaborate with you on your goals, highlight your strengths and growing edges, and walk with you as you transform. Along the way, we will notice cycles that are no longer serving you through mind-body connection and emotional regulation. My goal is to help you root in love for yourself and all the versions of you that brought you here.
My Background and Approach
My approach is warm and inviting with curiosity and humor. I will ask you questions to help you gain a different perspective and separate yourself from the problems you are facing right now. I work with the present moment experience and incorporate your historical context (i.e., family of origin, etc) to build an understanding of what makes you unique. Maybe you have been focusing hard on getting through this chapter and forgot what used to bring you joy. Maybe you have lost pieces of yourself in your relationship and want to rediscover yourself. Whatever it is, we will collaborate to create a set of tools that support you with strengthening your communication skills, connecting you to your body to relieve tension and anxiety, and we will walk the whole way together.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
James Baldwin said, "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." I believe that the only way is through--not backwards, not side-stepping, and not skipping ahead. Even if what you are facing cannot be changed, you are doing the work necessary in learning to confront it with courage and a deeper sense of self. It is never too late to create a change. I am a Black and trans systemic therapist. As a kid I struggled with finding a sense of belonging. Looking back, I stayed under the radar and learned to survive by not drawing attention to myself and appeasing others to reduce conflict. With therapy, I learned to peel back the layers of myself and my experience to understand why I operated this way and felt stuck as an adult. I learned what I could practice to feel grounded and softened, with a new sense of self-compassion and a desire to connect more vulnerably with others. Through this work, I hope to offer the same possibilities to you.
