My Approach

Each person's healing process is a unique and creative experience, and therapy is about creating a safe space to explore whatever concerns you. I will listen to you empathically, ask questions, offer feedback and new perspectives, and challenge you to reconsider old decisions. Together, we will focus on your strengths and the adaptive ways you have coped with difficulty, as well as patterns of behavior that are no longer serving you well. We will connect the dots of your story, identify the roots of your current concerns, practice new skills in the here-and-now, increase your understanding of how your brain and nervous system work, and come to terms with painful past experiences.

Counseling and therapy is a sociopolitical act that can reinforce social inequality or disrupt it. By exploring the ways that our intersecting social identities have shaped us, and understanding where we experience privilege and marginalization, we can show up more authentically and effectively in our relationships and in the world.
