About My Clients
Clients that I work with are often seeking direction and a sense of hope. The excitement of life seems harder to reach these days. My favorite part about being a therapist is watching my clients discover themselves and own their diversity. I enjoy being the person to support clients in practicing their strengths and building community. And often, when a client faces hardship, chronic trauma, or low self-worth, I am the friend who will hear them out. No judgment, just compassion.
My Background and Approach
I’m a relational therapist, which means I use our relationship as a tool to build connection and to get comfortable with authenticity. We will practice communication skills, conflict resolution skills, and identifying triggers. This also means we create a space to explore outdated beliefs and trauma that are acting as barriers to your wellbeing. Therapy Approaches I use: CBT allows us to explore and modify our thoughts, mood, and behaviors. ACT allows us to accept the things we cannot change and to live according to our values. Psychoanalytic therapy allows us to examine how your past informs us of your present. Person-centered therapy respects you as an individual with valuable insight. Appreciating what makes an individual unique and complex, I remain present and curious to learn about who you want to be. Together we will take time to make meaning of your experiences, and address complex feelings and habits you wish to strengthen or reframe.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in living outside the "script" our society has built for us. Social division is the source of feeling alone in today's world, and I would like to create at least one space where a client can feel accepted and heard. I come from a multiethnic home, so it's important for me to respect intersectionality and to learn a person for who they want to be, not just where they come from.
