About My Clients
My clients are good people, who are struggling with parts of themselves and are seeking guidance to help feel lighter, and have more control over their mental health. That may look like managing anxiety, relationship issues, depression, and/or trauma. I enjoy working with couples, young adults and also have a passion for working with multicultural/BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ dynamics. As a fellow POC it's important to have representation in the mental health field for marginalized communities.
My Background and Approach
I will help by creating safe a safe and warm environment. Together, we will explore any pain or challenges that you may be experiencing. All in hopes of rebuilding the bridges and pathways to healthier coping and overall improved life management. I use warmth and kindness towards my clients. I will sit in the pain with you, I’ll become a witness to your pain, and through validation and understanding growth emerges and healing naturally happens. It’s a slow, but beautiful process which can be very fulfilling. I like to explore childhood traumas, unpack relationship issues, and discuss self-worth and increase my clients happiness and self-confidence. Maintaining empathy and a non-judgemental view on my clients circumstances and/or decisions is imperative to my style as a therapist. The goal is to help you feel less depressed or anxious, and more in control of life. Developing a plan, creating a therapy 'coping toolbox', assessing the past and the future are all going to help.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My journey with therapy has been lifelong. I started attending therapy during the tender years of my youth. Throughout my time in the therapy room as a client, I was able to discover and rediscover not only myself, but also many internalized and transgenerational patterns I carried. As I grew and continued to engage in introspection I began to feel profoundly more whole. I believe that therapy can unlock forgotten memories and traumas, and has the ability to heal wounded parts of one's heart with appropriate therapeutic guidance. I believe that we all have the intrinsic power and capability to turn our lives around, and sometimes we need help in doing that. We often adopt these narratives about ourselves and our worth from society, school, and even family or friends. That does not make those narratives about yourself....true. It's about looking at it all, and deciding what is worth keeping and serving us, and what is worth letting go of and holding us back.
