About My Clients
Clients from diverse cultural backgrounds are nervous to go to therapy because they are afraid the therapist will not understand their culture, or worse, that they may blindly treat their cultural differences as symptoms of mental illness. That’s an understandable fear which I hope to assuage. As a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual person, I consciously practice cultural-humility and am sensitive to the importance of cultural identity, diversity, and the ways culture intersects with all aspects of you
My Background and Approach
As you heal and become more intimate with yourself on all levels (biological, sexual, emotional, mental, sensual, spiritual) you become more intimate with others and make more conscious choices about the way you relate to yourself and the world around you. I draw from Jungian, mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help individuals of all ages and couples achieve greater flexibility and freedom in their lives. I do this by guiding them in the process of healing rigid patterns and maladaptive coping mechanisms, stemming from childhood attachment wounds, traumas, shame, and fears that have held them back from deeper life-satisfaction, expansion, and authenticity.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the old adage knowledge is power, and the greatest power is the mastery that comes from knowing yourself and being able to experience yourself in intimate, transcendent relation. I work to create a non-judgemental, safe space where we can get to know you. Together, we can build the skills needed for developing a most intimate relationship with all aspects of yourself, even those that seem to contradict each other and create a healthy, compassionate, vibrant, more harmonious relationship within yourself that will transcend into how you relate to others as well. As you heal and become more intimate with yourself on all levels (biological, sexual, emotional, mental, sensual, spiritual) you become more intimate with others and make more conscious choices about the way you relate to yourself and the world around you.
