About My Clients
If you are struggling with something, be it crippling anxiety, bouts of depression that make it difficult to get out of bed, or persistent conflict in your relationships, know that there can be a light at the end of the tunnel. If the medical system is always working against you, I have extensive personal and professional experience with addressing the inner challenges that come with feeling marginalized in this society, including for racial justice and the LGBTQ+ community.
My Background and Approach
As a therapist and Board-Certified Psychiatrist, I strive to approach each individual with empathy, understanding, and respect. When working with me, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where you are encouraged to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. I believe that mental health work is a collaborative process in which trust is a vital component. I also believe that we hold the keys to our own healing. Therefore, I work closely with each individual to build trust and establish a relationship that is both supportive and empowering. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and develop insight into your own challenges as we examine the patterns that repeat in your life, and the ways that your past connects to your present. I believe in the power of healing—whether through psychotherapy, medication management, or a combination of approaches (meds are not for everyone, but I believe they can play a crucial role in treatment for some).
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the fundamental beauty and resilience of the human spirit. We are all complex beings, with both pain and joy that is impossible to fully express. Despite this, we all have a deep desire to feel understood. I truly love the process of building a trusting relationship and seeking to understand on a level that invites healing to occur. It is not only through the processing of our experiences that we heal. It is also through the development of a genuine relationship, one that encourages open and honest communication. In that respect, I also deeply value humility. I do not believe in a top-down approach to healing, where I know what is best and I tell you what to do to get better. Instead, I will walk the path of healing with you, as we discover more about the complexities of this world together. This approach gives you the best chance at building the life that you want for yourself, and feeling agency over the process and results of our time together.
