About My Clients
I tend to attract clients who are experiencing anxious thoughts and rumination, cycles of addiction, or codependent relationships. These struggles are often ways we seek to meet our needs for comfort, connection, or stability, even if they don't always provide the lasting fulfillment we're looking for. It’s natural to seek comfort and connection in ways that feel familiar, and with understanding and support, we can uncover other ways to tend to those parts of you that long to be seen and met.
My Background and Approach
Having worked as a practice manager in an addiction and chronic pain treatment clinic, I bring a grounded understanding of the emotional and psychological factors that contribute to addiction and trauma. I see individuals, couples, and families as part of interconnected systems, and I’ll help you explore how your unique experiences intersect with broader relational and cultural dynamics. Together, we’ll find ways to improve communication, cultivate empathy, and foster mutual understanding. I draw from attachment theory, Family Systems Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Liberation Psychology to support your self-inquiry. I understand that healing is a deeply personal process, and I’ll be there with you every step of the way, encouraging you to go at a pace that feels right for you while gently challenging any limiting beliefs.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a systems therapist, I see your struggles as expressions of the stress that comes from navigating economic pressure, intergenerational trauma, perfectionism culture, and social injustices. This stress manifests differently in each of us. Perhaps you are experiencing looping thoughts, anxiety, feeling distrustful of yourself, imbibing to cope, or maybe you are feeling isolated from others despite a desire to connect. It can be hard to feel safe or secure in such a wobbly world. In therapy, we'll make space for the parts of you that have had to shut down or shrink away in order to survive under today's impossible expectations. Our therapeutic work together is not about 'fixing' you—because you are not broken. Instead, we’ll focus on your strengths and tend to the parts of you that haven’t felt safe or cared for, nurturing your healing process.
