My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in a lifelong commitment to seeing each person in their full complexity. In our work together, I support you in exploring anxious thought patterns, helping identify the underlying influences, and understanding how these thoughts have developed over time. By creating a safe, collaborative space to reflect on these patterns, we can work together to discover new ways of being that feel more aligned with your values and goals.
I view individuals, couples, and families as interconnected within larger systems—much like an ecology. In addressing relationship conflict, I invite you to explore both your individual experiences and the ways these intersect with broader relational and cultural dynamics. Through this process, we co-create strategies to foster more open communication, empathy, and mutual understanding. My approach also draws from Family Systems Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Liberation Psychology, offering a framework to help navigate these complexities.
When it comes to trauma processing, I respect the unique complexity of each person's experience. We create a space where healing can unfold at your own pace, integrating both personal histories and the broader social contexts that shape them. For those navigating addictive patterns, we explore the emotional and psychological drivers behind these behaviors, examining how family dynamics and societal influences may contribute. Together, we develop strategies for change that build on your personal strengths and aspirations.
As a therapist, I am mindful of my own humanity—my beliefs, biases, and the context(s) from which I come. I don’t present myself as a neutral, detached figure. Instead, I show up authentically and relationally, creating a space where we can work together as equals. You guide the direction of our work, and I am here to support and gently guide you on your journey inward.
“To honor our grief, to grant it space and time in our frantic world, is to fulfill a covenant with soul—to welcome all that is, thereby granting room for our most authentic life.”
