Individual Therapy
I offer personalized, one-on-one psychotherapy designed to support individuals in navigating life’s challenges, fostering personal growth, and achieving emotional well-being. My practice is inclusive and welcoming to clients with complex, intersecting identities. I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment where your unique experiences are honored and where we work collaboratively to achieve your goals.
My Integrative Approach
Drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities, I provide holistic and culturally responsive care that meets you where you are:
Humanistic/Client-Centered
I create a supportive, empathetic space where you are fully seen and heard. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and my role is to support your self-discovery and personal growth.
Liberation Psychology
Rooted in social justice, my approach recognizes the impact of systemic oppression and structural inequities on mental health. Liberation psychology emphasizes empowering individuals to challenge and transform these societal structures while fostering personal healing. In our work together, we explore the ways external forces—such as colonization, discrimination, and socioeconomic inequality—affect your internal experience. I aim to help you connect with your inherent strength and agency, empowering you to create meaningful change within yourself and your community.
Psychodynamic/Object Relations/Relational
We explore how early relationships and unconscious patterns influence your current behavior and emotions, helping you gain deeper insights into your relational dynamics.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Using evidence-based techniques, I help you challenge unhelpful thought patterns, manage emotions, and build practical coping skills for everyday life.
Family Systems
While working with you individually, I also consider the broader family and relational dynamics that may influence your well-being, promoting personal growth within the context of these systems.
Recovery-Oriented Care
Whether managing long-term mental health conditions or embarking on a personal recovery journey, I focus on your strengths and resilience, helping you build a meaningful, fulfilling life.
Mindfulness
I incorporate mindfulness practices to help you enhance emotional regulation, manage stress, and cultivate present-moment awareness.
Cultural Competency & Inclusivity
I am committed to providing care that is inclusive and responsive to clients with complex and intersecting identities. I understand that factors such as race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status significantly shape your experience of mental health. I work to address systemic factors like racism, healthcare disparities, and the effects of historical trauma, and honoring your unique identity throughout the therapeutic process.
