In our relationships, we hope to feel connected, cared for, and understood. However, after a conversation with a loved one, you may find yourself feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or exhausted. Conversations can feel like they're going in circles and you may be blowing up or shutting down before reaching a resolution. You may even find yourself communicating in ways that hinder connection and understanding because you aren't sure how else to express how you feel. If this sounds familiar, please understand that you're not alone. Together we can all work to process those responses and have healthier conversations. I take a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed approach with teens, adults, and couples managing trauma, anxiety, depression, identity issues, and relationship difficulties. My specific niches are working with ethnic and sexual minorities, childhood and betrayal trauma, and communication and intimacy issues. My goal is to create a welcoming environment for you to process your feelings and develop the skills to support you in finding your footing when things feel unstable. Together we will use compassion, non-judgment, and humor to work toward building the safe and satisfying relationships that you deserve with yourself and others.
