That I trust you know what you need to work on. I don't have any agenda for our time together and I will meet you where you are during any given session.
Work on unpacking your childhood, family, culture, education, relationships, friendships, inner dialogue & begin to explore. Where do you want to be & how do you get there? What are we doing in session to help you feel more grounded, safe, & seen?

Most of us didn't grow up in perfect families or a perfect culture & it has lasting impacts. In my clients, it often presents as perfectionism which can be an exhausting place to live in every day. Clients feel burnt-out, irritable, lonely & anxious.
My goals for you are to resolve conflicted feelings, find satisfaction, balance, and enhance your ability to confidently cope with obstacles that get in your way. You will get there, but right now you are here and that is wonderful.

As a psychotherapist my role is to provide support, empathy, hold space, and challenge you to empower and outgrow your past self. You are the artist of your own life. Don't hand the paintbrush to anyone else.
Take a collaborative approach, working together to find what tools, skills, and modalities that work best for you. I am committed to you getting the most out of our time together, and am always open to feedback.

I am compassion-focused, trauma informed, and anti-oppressive. I consider myself a relational therapist, so our connection and rapport will be at the core of our work together.
