My Approach

Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. Rather than focusing only on what brings you to therapy, we can explore the larger story of your experiences, relationships, identity, and the ways you've learned to navigate the world. I believe healing begins with creating space for your whole self.

I draw from approaches that recognize that we experience ourselves through more than words. Depending on what feels helpful, therapy might include noticing what's happening in your body, making space for emotions, exploring identity and culture, reflecting on relationships and patterns, or slowing down to better understand your inner experience. We can slow down and explore your experiences with curiosity and self-compassion, making space to understand what you need and what feels meaningful to you.

For many of us, especially within BIPOC communities, our experiences can be shaped by family histories, cultural expectations, and stories carried across generations. Therapy can be a space to explore what you've inherited, what you've been carrying, and what you want to carry forward, or leave behind. Throughout this process, we can cultivate greater self-compassion and make room for what you genuinely need and value.

I am not the expert on your life, you are. You don't need to have all the answers, and you don't need to be fixed. My role is to offer a space where we can slow down, be curious together, and make sense of your experiences without judgment. Through this process, you may begin to relate to yourself with greater compassion and reconnect with parts of yourself that have felt overlooked, silenced, or distant.

What We Might Explore:

  • You may have spent years trying to fit in, meet expectations, or be what others need from you. This can happen from the messages we receive from our families, communities, and society about who we should be. This process can help you reconnect with yourself and feel more grounded in your identity.

  • On the outside you may look happy, some may even say successful, while on the inside you never feel like you’re doing enough. Sometimes you wonder when will I ever feel enough. Together we can unlearn the beliefs regarding what it means to be worthy and learn self-compassion. With more compassion for yourself, comes more happiness.

  • You might be carrying the loss of someone, or the loss of culture, tradition, or the home/land your family came from. Often, there’s more beneath grief. This can be a space to connect to what was lost, in a way that feels aligned with your needs.

  • You may find yourself wondering if you made the right the decision or missing what used to be. These feelings may be connected to periods of transformations in our life that mark the beginning of something new. Therapy can help you navigate life changes that feels aligned with your journey.
