My Approach to Helping
Therapy can give you a space to speak freely and listen to yourself in new and different ways. Many people I see in my practice are young adult children of immigrant parents who experience painful conflicts within their family of origin that lead to separation, emotional distance, or even estrangement. I also work with individuals who want support with exploring sexuality and gender identity in a nonjudgmental, open and accepting space. I also work with couples who want to change frustrating patterns in their relationship
As a psychodynamic and culturally aware therapist, I am curious about the deeper, unconscious meaning of your difficulties and where they might have originated, and the connections between your past and present experiences. Whether you are a couple or an individual, I can help you make sense of the chaos inside, create breathing space, a chance to finally let your guard down and speak your mind. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative project between us, a creative exploration of your most important life questions.
Deciding to see a therapist is a significant and courageous first step. I welcome you to call or email me to make a phone appointment, and we will talk more in depth about your unique situation and what you'd like to get out of therapy. I look forward to hearing from you.
