About My Clients
I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety and phobias, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and self-identity work. Sometimes, we can feel alone in our struggles, and feel like we have to “keep it together” for everyone else. This can be exhausting and painful. I strive to create a safe space where you can fully be yourself and bring in your uniquely lived experiences as we address the challenges you are facing. I work from a place of cultural sensitivity to help you heal.
My Background and Approach
Our work may take different routes based on what we decide is the best path forward. Some things you may expect are discussing the dynamics in your interpersonal relationships (including our therapy relationship!), identifying patterns of thoughts and feelings rooted in past experiences that may be impacting you, processing and navigating hard emotions, and learning tools to cope. I’ll create an affirming and nonjudgmental space where we can focus on your identities (e.g. race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, age, religion, neurodivergence) and experiences and connect this with your goals of healing. I’m also interested in hearing about how some of your combined or intersecting identities may feel for you - being someone who you can be open about these experiences with is important to me as we continue through your therapy journey. You are the expert on you, and I hope to create a space where we can both learn about what your identities may mean to you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a BIPOC therapist, I understand and recognize the impacts of racism and bias and the ways this can hurt. I am also aware of the unique struggles that individuals who are navigating bicultural identities and intergenerational conflict may face. I’m deeply interested in supporting all individuals who may struggle in the face of prejudice, especially cross-cultural conflicts, familial concerns, and racial stress. I’m passionate about social justice work, healing, liberation, and the ways in which systems of oppression and the contexts we exist in can contribute to our experiences and interactions with others. In tandem with addressing the concerns you bring to therapy, I hope to help you see how sometimes various "symptoms" are really mechanisms of coping with oppression. We will use our sessions in a way that feels the most healing for you as we process and work together towards healing.
