About My Clients

Ever feel like no one gets it? Maybe they try to, and they're endearing when they try, but it just doesn't feel like you're heard, seen, accepted, and understood? It's hard trying to navigate life and all the complexities. As humans, we're multi-faceted, multi-dimensional, multi-layered beings, which can be really overwhelming. There are parts that we love, other parts that we dislike, maybe even hate. This can cause to act in self-sabotaging ways, such as lashing out, trust issues, isolating.

My Background and Approach

My goal is to be able to provide you with a safe space, a trusting therapeutic relationship, and a respectful environment for you to be able to thrive in. I value the overall well-being of each individual - Every person, regardless of their disability, race, ethnicity, gender, age, economic status, or sexual orientation, has the right and responsibilities to live up to their full potential in our society, the right to be treated with compassion, respect and dignity, and to be free from stigma and prejudice. I value collective healing - We're not meant to do this life alone. We're meant to care for one another, support each other, and take care of ourselves in a way that's balanced and healthy, which prevents retraumatization. I value being compassionate - Every wound, every fear, every part of the human suffering deserves loving kindness. We must tend to the wound in a way that nourishes, not worsens.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that as humans, we struggle to get emotional support that feels authentic - Nowadays, it's become the norm to neglect and dismiss taking care of our mind, body, & spirit. Instead, what's encouraged is to work ourselves to the point of burn out, exhaustion, depletion, which leads to an unfulfilling & unsatisfied life. Or we often find ourselves unable to move through deep internalized trauma, as some forms of therapy have become a band aid for deep wounds. I believe we must nourish ourselves in order to flourish - If we're able to truly learn how to take care of ourselves and build a healthy relationship with every part, every dimension, every facet of who we are, we can flourish. I believe that everyone has the ability to heal and grow - We all can learn ways to empower ourselves. There's an inner wisdom/ inner healing intelligence inside all of us. We might need help learning how to access it, be attuned to it, and trust in it, but once we do, we're all capable of change.
