Essential to my work is a belief that therapy is a sacred and intimate journey that you, as the client, invite me to walk alongside you. I am here to help you do the following: connect with your inner knowing and wisdom; enhance consciousness about the many layered factors contributing to who you are and the unique challenges you face; clarify your core values and life goals; & realize momentum forward on the path you choose. I approach therapy with a human-centered, healing-informed, and liberation-based lens. This means that each client's humanity is honored and celebrated. My approach is strengths-based and centers culture as a central component to wellbeing. Finally, it means that we will work collaboratively to understand the impact of structural forces on current distress. In the words of Mr. Trabian Shorters, I want to honor "the true spirit living in someone — the thing that motivates them; what gets them moving." I aim to co-create a therapeutic space where clients feel safe, seen, and challenged to cultivate meaning, connection with self and others, and a sense of being alive.
