As your therapist, my approach is all about working together to help you reconnect with yourself and others as we navigate the impact of your lived experience. Whether you're feeling stuck in the aftermath of trauma, struggling in your relationships, experiencing a transition or loss, or finding it hard to manage your emotional pain, I'm here to support you on your unique healing journey, honoring your own pace and rhythm.
Together we'll explore how your past experiences have shaped the patterns in your life today. Using Relational and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, we'll uncover insights that can help you move forward. I also incorporate Somatic Psychotherapy, where we'll tune into your body's wisdom, become more aware of your sensations, and find a deeper sense of ease.
I understand that your experiences are influenced not just by personal factors, but by the social, cultural, and political contexts you live in. Our sessions will honor every part of who you are. I will show up with respect, humility, and genuine curiosity as we create a space that feels safe for you to explore and emerge.
