I approach therapy from a multicultural, feminist, strength-based, and relational perspective. I will see you as a whole person with multiple (sometimes incompatible) identities.

The path to living the life you want begins where courage and fear meet. When we are low in courage and high in fear we feel unsettled, busied, strained and eventually-void of hope. The thought that life will get better or that we will feel better becomes hijacked by the void. Our day to day begins to feel meaningless. This absence of meaning can be experienced as emptiness, sadness, loneliness, despair and misery. It can also be experienced as restlessness, irritability, avoidance, stomachaches, headaches and illness. These experiences drive our thoughts, beliefs, decisions and behaviors and can lead to mental and physical decline.

The complexities of life can be challenging to navigate on your own. To stay or leave the relationship, resign from work or switch majors, work through grief & loss, or how to set boundaries with friends & family, can send our thoughts spinning into a cycle of anxiety. Practicing honesty with yourself may feel daunting & in some cases impossible, as it can call for acknowledging uncomfortable situations or feelings in your life. The fear of speaking up can lead to avoidance behaviors such as substance use issues, withdrawal from friends & family, cessation of things you enjoy, mental fog & depression as well as codependency.
