About My Clients
You may want something different from your life, but you’re not sure what it is or how to go about getting it. You could have questions about your relationships, career, or identity. Or perhaps you have been finding yourself overtaken by strong emotions at unexpected times. You need a space to talk, think, feel, and explore your world - both the parts that are acknowledged and also the parts that feel mysterious or shrouded. I see psychotherapy as a process of discovery.
My Background and Approach
I practice psychodynamic therapy through an anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ affirming lens. This work can allow you to have greater self-knowledge; to grow, and to consider and perhaps to make different decisions in your life. My approach is to bring curiosity, empathy, and insight to your current situation and to go from there.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I don’t believe that a diagnosis or set of symptoms can fully define a person. Each person isunique and has their own set of lived experiences involving their individual history and family of origin. These experiences are impacted by racism, classism, transphobia, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and so much more. Psychotherapy, at its best, is a place where you can share your story free of these negative experiences to understand the root of your struggle. Psychotherapy is also about inviting another person - the psychotherapist - into your journey. I respect the courage and vulnerability it takes to invite another into your life.
