Change is constant. Pain and struggle are universal. We all need support at times, and seeking professional help can be a challenging and daunting endeavor. A main goal of mine as a therapist is to create a safe space that is free of judgment, full of compassion, concern, and understanding. I strive to meet people where they are in their lives, always approaching issues through trauma-informed and harm-reduction lenses. As your therapist, I would work with you collaboratively to find the means and ways to best address and support you with the issues that you are going through.

As a psychoanalyst, I believe most of our fundamental struggles relate to patterns in our relationships and societal pressures we can't easily see or understand. I collaborate with my clients to help them use their curiosity, talents, and strengths to resolve confusion and achieve understanding and relief. My style is non-judging and genuine so clients feel comfortable talking about parts of their lives that are stressful, frustrating, and even painful. In therapy, I help clients achieve a better sense of meaning in their lives and satisfaction in their relationships, so that anxiety, depression, shame and guilt ease away.

My approach to therapy and healing is rooted in the understanding that our experiences with systems of power and oppression and the space we have had to hold our pain can deeply impact our connection to self, the body, and community. I reject the racialized notion that the therapist is the expert in the room, and encourage folks to hold themselves as the expert of their lives. I believe that each person is multi-dimensional, and that they already hold within them the capacity to heal and grow.

Experiencing a period where we realize that life is not what we wanted or expected is difficult and often overwhelming. Relationship issues, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and trauma can all lead to stress and unhappiness. My calm and open approach addresses these concerns by creating a space where you can feel safe and comfortable to speak honestly. We begin by exploring thoughts and feelings to uncover patterns of thinking and acting and better understand where they came from. This enables you to begin to accept or change them and to heal from any pain they have caused.

Some people move through life feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or “out of body.” In my role, I hold space for them to process personal and/or intergenerational trauma so they can heal, connect with others, and live more freely. The people who resonate with my approach the most are soul searchers, creatives, and anyone looking to buck societal expectations. They might be exploring their sexuality, relationship with substances, or pieces of their identity they’ve been repressing. I also work with clients integrating experiences from meditation, breath work, psychedelic journeys, and other non-ordinary states of consciousness.

In sessions, I provide education to my clients about how our feelings and emotions affect our brains and bodies. Many clients find it validating and comforting to know the effects and causes of their anxiety or depression. I find that incorporating different mindfulness techniques, such as intentional breathing and muscle relaxation, into sessions and into your life can help people feel more at peace and present in their daily lives.

Our clients are sensitive, thoughtful adults who have experienced childhood abuse, neglect, and overall family dysfunction and have found ways to appear like they "have it all together" on the outside, but internally are suffering with painful memories, feelings of deep shame, and an overall sense of unworthiness. In our work with adults who have been raised by emotionally immature parents, we help clients re-discover, or perhaps discover for the first time, a true sense of self and identity. Many of our clients are parents who are committed to breaking the cycle of intergenerational trauma for the good of their children.
