About My Clients
My practice focuses on supporting women of color, adult children of immigrant parents, individuals working to manage their anxiety/overthinking, & individuals exploring their spirituality, cultural identity, self-worth, & relationship attachments. I am also dedicated to supporting couples, as I believe that our connections with others are fundamental to the healing process. I value honesty, directness, and openness in my communication style and I work best with clients who share similar traits.
My Background and Approach
I aspire to see the world how you do while also exploring new insights and frontiers with honesty and compassion. I gravitate towards using attachment work, polyvagal theory, somatic/body work, and parts/inner-child work. I believe there are parts of us that battle each other. It can feel like you know something in your mind but it feels impossible to change. By getting to know these parts of ourselves, we can learn how to help them work together instead of against each other, ultimately serving your journey toward wholeness. I also believe we are naturally built to need love and connection. By understanding and healing past wounds, we can open up to building more profound and empowering connections. A significant part of my therapeutic approach also focuses on exploring & understanding how our bodies react under stress. By becoming more connected with our bodily sensations, we can address the physical symptoms of stress and trauma that we can’t always ‘talk’ ourselves out of.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I also practice with an understanding of the oppressive, capitalist structures that shape our lives. Often, the challenges we encounter stem not from personal failings but from societal expectations that emphasize relentless productivity and individualism with little focus on attuning to and caring for ourselves. As a woman of color, I recognize the ways I’ve had to navigate oppression and how it has shaped my life. Additionally, as an able-bodied, cis-gendered, heterosexual, middle-class individual, I am conscious of the privileges I hold and this awareness drives me to practice cultural humility. I am committed to striving continuously to understand and respect the diverse lived experiences of all my clients. In our therapy sessions, I aim to foster a sanctuary where we can collectively process the impacts of these systemic forces, dismantle ingrained harmful doctrines, and explore ways to live authentically within our society while reducing harm.
