The world is becoming more complex as we are expected to do more with less time and energy. What if you were already coping with difficulties from a not so distant past? With my own history of self worth/doubt, health issues and being told "I don't belong here", I can vividly remember the frustration and loneliness of trying to "live your life" while feeling excluded. I draw from this to empathize and build a mutual understanding of "now" and create a path to a more authentic version of "you." We often look to the past to find origins of problems, but its equally important to dig through our history to find gems of resilience.

My clinical interests cover depression, anxiety, complex trauma, intergenerational/racialized trauma, relationship conflicts, addiction, existential crises, inferiority and various issues through a de-pathologized/anti-oppression lens supplemented by neuroscience. Creating a mutual understanding of "what was" and "how to move forward" is integral to my work.

No matter how off-balance we may feel, we still possess intrinsic strengths. When we decouple from the internalized noise produced by toxic systems (e.g. misogyny, homophobia, white supremacy, classism, self hatred etc) we can reconnect with our authentic selves and deepen our bonds. I cherish the invitation to explore with you. Let's get curious.

An important aspect of my work is finding what you truly want for yourself. The first few sessions may be dedicated to this central question. Our work will then be centered on what is in the way of what you're desiring and moments where your life was aligned with your desire. My clients often build a deep understanding what they find important for themselves and the ways that can be blocked.

Depth oriented approaches that utilize a psychoanalytic/intersubjective framework and NARM (neuroaffective relational model) are my modalities of choice. Adding a decolonized/anti-oppressive lens to the work is imperative as well. From here, we observe how both our emotions and felt sense of "right" and "wrong" are shaped/internalized by our environment whether it be family, culture, etc.
