My Approach to Helping
One of the bravest things we can do in life is to ask for help when we need it. It can be difficult to carry our struggles alone, and a true relief to have someone help work through them. I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, school or career issues, life transitions, family conflict, identity development, discrimination, and existential distress. No matter what is bringing you to therapy today, the key is an openness to the possibility of your own healing, evolution, and growth. From there lies the door that can lead to the discovery of your full potential.
As a Queer, Black, bicultural, first generation clinician, I know personally the experience of intersectionality and care deeply about working with others of intersecting andor marginalized identities. I'm specialized in trauma-informed care, and I use a Healing Justice psychodynamic approach that is insight-oriented, empowering, warm, and client-centered.
Through therapy, my hope is to support you in building greater self-understanding and self-compassion, and in developing ways of thinking, feeling, and relating that are more authentic and aligned. This can put you on the path towards becoming more fully yourself, living in a more joyful, integrated way, and building resilience in this ever changing world.
