About My Clients
Clients I work with are typically women struggling with codependency, breakups, unbalanced relationships, boundary issues, racial trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and body issues. I try to work from a feminist place when it comes to women exploring their identity and issues in their relationships. I additionally love to see folks in the LGBTQIA+ community who are struggling with big life changes or identity issues.
My Background and Approach
I'm a biracial woman who was born in Sacramento and raised in the East Bay. I'm in love with all things geeky ranging from cute pastel washi tape to anime to an extensive board game collection. I have two small dogs (even though I swear I'm a "big dog" kind of person), am always listening to an audiobook, and love to cook and bake. I have a direct, casual, and joyful approach to therapy and tend to work well with folks who appreciate some directness in the room. I love working with folks from the nerd community, those in long distance relationships, and especially with women who are seeking to understand their anger, frustration, and anxiety on a deeper level. My approach to therapy includes pulling from a lot of different modalities, including ACT, CBT, Narrative, and Psychodynamic. I aim to create a supportive, warm, compassionate space where we can work together to untangle some of the threads you might be struggling with.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I became a therapist after struggling to find any available providers near me who could help me understand my experience as someone who struggled with anxiety, depression, and relational issues. I wanted to find someone who could understand my lived experience on a personal level and found that to be surprisingly difficult. I understand the difficulty of simply wanting to talk to someone who could empathize and relate to your experience and aim to create a space where we can do just that. There are not "wrong" ways to feel through our work together and instead, we can work together to identify deep-rooted beliefs you might have about yourself, question their value to you at this time in your life, and help you move forward on a path that's right for you!
