About My Clients
My passion is working with those who keenly feel the pain of not being "enough," or of being defective. Is this something that you experience? I know deeply how excruciating this pain is, especially when experienced in silence and secret. When my clients first begin therapy, they describe self-critical beliefs getting in the way of what's most important to them, like being able to feel authentic in relationships and within themselves.
My Background and Approach
I believe that learning to explore, be with, and ultimately love the uncomfortable, "messy" and emotional parts of us is the path to greater freedom and vitality. Tragically, the impact of various trauma (i.e. mis-attuned caregiving, systemic discrimination, living within systems that encourage disconnection from ourselves and others) narrow what we believe is possible in our lives. I spent my doctoral training in clinical psychology becoming proficient in a variety of person-centered, culturally-humble approaches that assist me in working alongside people from different walks of life. If you wish, my goal is to join with you to help uncover and explore your natural capacities and drive towards a life filled with self-love (the essential kind), connection and purpose. Supported by a brave relationship, our path moves tenderly and resolutely inwards, with the vital effects radiating outwards to animate your life truly worth living.
