About My Clients
My focus is working with culturally diverse teens and adults who struggle in their complicated relationship with their parents, especially parents who are felt to be too controlling, anxious, angry, over overbearing. If these relationships don’t change their dynamic, you may have become estranged from one another. I aim to create a judgement-free, safe space to come into one’s own; to work through all of the complicated feelings and memories that prevent you from moving forward.
My Background and Approach
Therapy pays attention to the most hidden and unknown parts of the self. As I listen to you, I am taking in your particular way of speaking about things and noting what words and ideas are especially significant for you. I am curious about the deeper meaning of your difficulties and where they might have originated. I focus on the unconscious mental processes that silently dictate your thinking and behavior. Together, we explore the thoughts, beliefs, fantasies, dreams, relationship patterns and socio-cultural contexts that influence your everyday life. Your childhood, family history and painful past experiences are all taken into account as a part of who you are as a subjective being in the world, rather than your diagnosis or observable symptoms.
