About My Clients
Are you struggling with managing family/ cultural expectations? Your relationships, school, job, or other life area overwhelmingly stressful? Noticing that you’ve become unhappy within yourself, withdrawing from others, and using unhelpful forms of coping? Are you ready for a change? It can be hard to decide to seek that extra support from a professional when most people in your life don’t even believe your issues are real. Trust yourself, your mind and that the change is possible. I can help
My Background and Approach
I specialize in working with ethnically/ racially diverse individuals and couples, (18+) who may be struggling with cultural/ racial stressors, relationship challenges, Work/life stress, depression, intergenerational trauma, or people pleasing tendencies. Compassionately we work together to offload that baggage, gain insight, and create a toolbox for coping.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that our culture and life context are significant factors that impact how we experience pain/ suffering and what messages we tell ourselves throughout the day about how we should exist in the world and how the world will treat us. Building an understanding of how our culture/ histories affect us helps us to identify what unique strategies we then need to use to address the issues impacting our lives. I value authenticity and connection and do not believe that the therapy space can thrive without a strong collaborative relationship between the client and therapist so I aim to create an honest, open, and engaging space to do the real work of therapy
