You are actively shaping your identity. On your way, you notice power imbalances everywhere. You sense that the collective ideals of beauty and success are overvalued. The world expects compliance but your uniqueness promises something more. Relationships are at the root of healing and therapy. Our exchange will focus on building you up. I will guide your process as you explore and deliberate. The world wants you to conform but through steady, practiced connection, you will experience something greater: growth and change. As a relational-cultural therapist (RCT), I productively shift between psychodynamic, multicultural, and relational gears. In every session, we cultivate self-empathy, clarify relational expectations, and contend with systemic oppression. I create a safe, affirming space where any person can find strength in any life challenge. Skillfully and sensitively, I prime my clients for wellness and a satisfied confidence.
