Therapy is your autonomous space - to explore things from a non-pathologizing lens, take a breath, and align with your innate values. I am passionate about creating a supportive alliance where clients can understand barriers to their stated goals, negotiate self-defeating patterns, enhance their relationships, embrace their true self, and develop an inner anchor of trust. Balancing the "macro" with effectiveness in the "micro" is a must.
My practice is integrative. Depending on the particular client or target problem, I often weave somatic, CBT, humanistic, expressive arts, neurobiological, and mindfulness perspectives into the work. I tailor my approach to each client's cultural outlook and needs. As an add-on lens, I am trained and certified to work in the psychedelic space.
Before my career as a clinical psychologist, I worked as a contemporary dancer; expression through arts is vital to me. I blend my life experience with the knowledge I hold from my doctorate to help others experience the power of the mind/body connection. I'm a lifelong advocate for progressive causes and am passionate about LGBTQIA+ rights. All are welcome.
