I believe that healing can occur within the context of a trusted relationship. I work with adults and families to help people better understand the things that are getting in the way of living a full, productive, and satisfying life. That could be a child’s struggle with emotional regulation, a parent’s difficulty with triggering behaviors or understanding how to manage challenging moments, or an adult who struggles to develop and sustain intimate connections with others.
Psychotherapy is a process that allows us to begin to better understand what is at the root of these issues. It also provides us with a path forward: to begin to fully understand what we need, what we desire, and how to find fulfillment and joy in our lives. I have been a clinical supervisor for over 12 years, and also provide consultation to clinicians.
My style is warm, collaborative, and very much rooted in the belief that connection is the agent of change. I work from a lens of cultural sensitivity and understand that our identities, cultural norms, and experiences within the greater normative culture shape who we are and impact how we feel.
