About My Clients
Working with me consists of a collaborative process of evaluation, rapport building, psycho—education, and activating agency through trauma informed tools. I work with beliefs, emotions, and defenses that were established in the past in response to trauma — the things that once kept us safe that no longer serve us in the here and now. We work at an individualized pace in order to create access to a greater quality of life through vulnerability, acceptance, courage, and compassion.
My Background and Approach
I have had extensive clinical experience working with clients who struggle with identity formation, complex trauma, depression, comorbid mental health diagnoses, and anxiety. I enjoy developing a strong therapeutic alliance with clients in order to facilitate growth in the face of mental health challenges. I conceptualize growth throughout the lifespan utilizing an integrative approach, grounded in Eriksonian developmental stages. I aim to bridge the gap between eastern and western philosophies on mental health and wellness, in order to thoroughly conceptualize challenges and opportunities for growth. I enjoy facilitating introspection in ways that feel comfortable to clients, whilst developing a greater sense of awareness and collaboratively discovering decisions that will greatly impact the quality of life. I utilize therapeutic interventions that are trauma-informed and mindfulness based in order to propel clients forward in their lives.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The true north of my practice is to utilize trauma informed and mindfulness based therapeutic modalities to cultivate transformation at an individual, communal, and organizational level. I feel a passionate connection towards using therapeutic interventions to make small strides towards creating a greater world — comprised of individuals who recognize their agency to make impactful change within their own lives, and change within the communities they are positioned.
