I provide experiential and culturally attuned psychotherapy to individuals and couples. My aim is to work collaboratively with clients to break cycles of emotional suffering and aloneness. As a result, I support clients in rediscovering their own authenticity and vitality and with those who matter most to them. My approach to individual and couples therapy is deeply relational, experiential, and healing. This means that I will wholeheartedly witness your stories of struggle, pain, loss, and shame, as well as your stories of survival, resilience, courage, wisdom, and love. I will also help us name the external systems and power dynamics that might be impacting you and us. Together, we would undo the pain of being alone in the struggle. We would explore possibilities and experiment with new behaviors so that you embody (feel) a new experience of connection with your true self as well as with others. I'm here to help you start the process. I find it very helpful to have a brief chat before our first session to see how it feels to talk with me. During this chat I can answer any questions you might have about my approach to therapy, and we can determine whether you might want to meet with me for a first session.
