Are you, your partner(s), or your family trying to break intergenerational curses to feel more connected to yourself and each other? Do you find yourselves misunderstanding each other and feeling confused about why this keeps happening? Are y'all having difficulties struggling to adjust to an acute or chronic illness and how it impacts your relationship(s)? I work with you and your loved ones to help each of you feel more connected and empowered as you navigate various transitions.
As a biracial, fat, and nonbinary therapist, I enjoy working with clients of color, fat clients, and clients who identify as LGBTQ+. I use Intergenerational Family Therapy, Socio-Emotional Relational Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and EMDR to best fit you, your relationship, and your family's needs during this point in your life.
I know it takes a lot of courage to reach out and start therapy, and I appreciate your willingness and openness to do so! If you believe that we may be a good fit, feel free to reach out via email or Psych Today message and we can schedule a 15 minute virtual consultation to discuss further.
