My Approach to Helping
As a systems-based therapist, I see your struggles as expressions of the stress that comes from navigating economic pressure, intergenerational trauma, perfectionism culture, and social injustices. This stress manifests differently in each of us. Perhaps you are experiencing looping thoughts, anxiety, feeling distrustful of yourself, imbibing to cope, or maybe you are feeling isolated from others despite a desire to connect. It can be hard to feel safe or secure in such a wobbly world. Together, we'll make space for the parts of you that have had to shut down or shrink away in order to survive under today's impossible expectations.
In working with one another, we will develop strategies for change that build on your unique strengths. I’ll support you in exploring anxious thoughts, uncovering their deeper roots, and understanding how they’ve shaped your life. We’ll create a safe and compassionate space where you can reflect, heal, and discover new ways of being that truly align with your values and goals.
I draw from Family Systems Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Liberation Psychology to support your self-inquiry. I understand that healing is a deeply personal process, and I’ll be there with you every step of the way, encouraging you to go at a pace that feels right for you while gently challenging any limiting beliefs.
