Welcome to all of you. I am primarily trained in health psychology, working with those hoping to harmonize their body and mind benefiting from alternative and integrative initiatives. I am comfortable treating issues of dual realities: behaviors; bipolar disorder; death; hyphenated/intersectional identities; inter/multi-generational traumas; relationships (children/parents, couples, blended families, siblings); life transitions and personal journeys of assimilation, breakup, borders crossing, conversion, displacement, divorce, migration, sobriety and transitioning - all great examples of the incredible power of human transformation.
My approach to therapy is: collaborative, curious, (psycho)educational, holistic, individualized, interactive, reciprocal, trauma informed catering to your own unique needs. I have experience working with different peoples: school-age children, at risk youth, justice involved, in crisis inpatient and substance misuse recovery programs, and in tech companies.
We sometimes mistakenly think of therapy, as we think of the metamorphosis: a painless process of birthing butterflies. It is not. Therapy is an intimate and a safe commitment where we honor the darkness, loneliness and suffering inside the cocoon which allow the caterpillar to grow wings, learn new behaviors and transform into a new creature, flying safely.
