About My Clients
Do you find yourself overwhelmed by your own emotions? Does something painful from your past feel like it’s always creeping around every corner? Is there something missing in your relationships that keeps you from connecting the way you want? Is your life at a crossroads and you're not sure where to go next? If yes, you are not alone!
My Background and Approach
Let's work together to boost your confidence to face hard things, increase your awareness of your strengths, improve your connection with others, and clarify who you are and who you want to be. My clients and I are a team that works collaboratively, where each of us brings our own strengths into the therapy relationship. I will be your trusted sidekick as you wade into the depths. I'll believe in you when you're having trouble believing in yourself. I take my clients' lead in what topics we cover and what work we need to do together. Sometimes we dive into the past and hang out there for a while. We often delve into culture, identity, and values. At times we stay in the here-and-now, focusing on how the therapy relationship can be a vehicle for healing. Other times we sit and feel feelings or concentrate on how the body holds those difficult feelings.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Whatever you’re going through right now, it doesn’t have to stay that way. Change is possible. A more satisfying story is possible. I trust my clients' intuition and their ability to grow, and I believe that my clients are the experts in their own story. Continually working to improve my ability to be a culturally competent therapist is a priority for me, and it is such an honor to hold space for clients with marginalized identities and cultural concerns. All are welcome here! My guiding principle throughout my own story has been to do what I can to pursue social justice. It has been humbling and educational coming face-to-face with my own biases and privilege. I've learned so much about how culture and power influence who we are as humans. And I've seen mountains of evidence that our need for connection is universal. For this reason, my relationship with each client is the number one factor informing my style as a therapist.
