I think of my practice as a magnifying glass, one that zooms in on feelings and beliefs that are daunting to examine but painfully hold us captive every day. Too often, we are left feeling cyclically, if not perpetually, disconnected, confused, stagnant, and dissatisfied. I strive to create a collaborative and compassionate space for you to access those vulnerable parts of yourself. I also believe in the power of relationships – ones we have with others and ourselves. In addition to examining your pains in relational terms across time, we will likely explore your needs and values and the realistic ways to fulfill and embody them.
Zooming out of your personal orbit, I may also invite you to dissect the many ways in which the various systems of oppression may have constrained and reduced your being. To unpack and unlearn the sociopolitical conditioning we have all been unwittingly subjected to, I seek to help you (re)gain a sense of authenticity, liberation, and empowerment.
I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds. Special interests include self-criticism, shame, guilt, stigma, cultural/identity concerns, acculturative stress, estrangement, and inter-generational trauma/relationships. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I also help dementia caregivers navigate the unique challenges they face with my specialty in neuropsychology.
