My approaches
I am dedicated to promoting a safe space for you to be heard and seen. I firmly believe that you have adaptive potential and massive resources for your own healing that can be found and nurtured in therapy. I strive to alleviate suffering with compassion while genuinely being open about here-and-now experiences. Your self-growth, insight, and self-compassion are highlighted and empowered in this space.
I also work with couples to help build and re-build emotional connection, fostering deeper understanding, trust, and intimacy. Through exploring patterns of communication, emotional vulnerabilities, and unmet needs, I guide partners in creating stronger, more secure bonds. Whether you’re navigating conflict, healing from past hurts, or simply looking to deepen your connection, I aim to create a safe space where both partners can feel seen, heard, and valued.
I utilize a range of therapeutic approaches, including brief psychodynamic therapy, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), relational-cultural therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I emphasize the mind-body connection, drawing on somatic psychology, and incorporate parts work from an internal family systems framework. Informed by the psychology of radical healing and liberation psychotherapy, I strive to create a space for deep personal and collective healing.
The right facilitating environment established in therapy is a liberating and non-judgmental space for clients to experiment with new ways of relating to others and themselves.
I help immigrant adults with their relationships with family, intergenerational trauma, or cultural identity transitions.
Based on my background in twice-exceptional learners and work psychology, I help with the career, relationship, and emotional and behavioral concerns of highly intelligent or high-achieving adults.
