We all have stories we have been carrying with us based on our lived experience. I aim to help my clients dig deeper into these personal narratives, to understand how our past may be affecting our present and keeping us from the future we want. I have specialized training and experience in working with trauma and providing treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, military adjustment, occupational stress, and other major life changes. I am particularly attuned to issues of racial trauma and other topics related to cultural identity, such as experiences specific to 1st and 2nd generation immigrants.
My approach is primarily based in acceptance-based and cognitive-behavioral therapies, and I often use a wider lens to explore the impact systemic oppression can have on how we view ourselves and interact with the world. I believe healing requires both understanding the larger context of our current reality AND holding on to hope that we can transform it.
It is an honor to be entrusted with someone’s life story. In my view, therapy is most beneficial as a space that cultivates authenticity and empowerment. Together, I hope we can start to confront some of life’s most emotionally painful experiences and find a way forward that is true to you.
