We spend most of our time talking to ourselves. In therapy, we explore that narrative to help you understand your thoughts, feelings, relationships, and actions. It is hard at first and once you find your confidence, you will notice significant changes in how you interact with yourself and the world; AND how the world interacts with you! I work with people who want a trusting and collaborative relationship built over time. I use a holistic and multicultural approach to better understand your unique experiences and provide treatment that is effective and ethical.
We explore the "good, bad, and the ugly" with self-compassion and kindness. You will gain insight into stubborn thought and relationship patterns. We will see changes over time. It will be disruptive but rewarding. You become a more active force in your own life! You will feel confident to make bold moves and navigate both internal and external chaos.
Maybe your recent moved, breakup, career issues, loss, changes in relationships, or lifelong unhappiness got you thinking. Now is the moment you seek support. It is a privilege to witness you gain insights AND navigate uncertainties. At times, I will suggest volunteering as an important part of your work. I will meet you where you're at and help.
