You’re no stranger to hard work and accomplishments but something still feels off. You find yourself replaying conversations and situations and how you responded, feeling upset that you didn’t just say what you really wanted to. It’s exhausting having to constantly read the room and adjust yourself to others’ expectations especially when you want something different for yourself. A part of you knows you’re ready to feel more self-assured, emotionally regulated, and respond in ways that feel more right inside. Most of all you’re ready to stop walking that tightrope and feel more spacious and steady. I want to help you get there.
My specialties include trauma and PTSD, racial/ethnic identity, and addressing the root of your concerns so you can move beyond simply surviving. My clients are looking for a high levels of expertise but also a down-to-earth therapist who sees them as an equal. I deliver on both fronts via individual therapy and immigration psychological evaluations.
Here we won't leave out your body and the context you live in. I use EMDR, psychodynamic/attachment therapy, and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) in culturally responsive ways to help you meet your goals. That steady, spacious life where you honor your roots and yourself is possible. Reach out to see how you can get there. I’ll be happy to hear from you!
