Do you ever find yourself feeling stuck and overwhelmed in life? Or maybe, notice voices of criticism and shame that feel loud and uncontrollable? Moving through our emotions can feel daunting and sometimes impossible, especially when we’re in the thick of it. There can often be a disconnect between what we want to do and how we internally feel. Our work together will bring awareness and connection to our embodied emotions and experiences. What this means is that we will move beyond traditional talk therapy, and lean into practices of mindfulness and compassion as we explore what happens internally when this disconnect happens.
I am a holistic practitioner, and incorporate somatic, inner family systems, and psychodynamic elements into our work together. I have a trauma-informed background, and have worked closely with survivors of relational and intergenerational traumas. If you find yourself struggling to move forward from past experiences of harm, we may be a great fit. As a child of immigrants myself, I also recognize that there are often cultural nuances that impact our healing journeys. I encourage you to bring your whole self into therapy, as will I, to unburden yourself from narratives that no longer serve you, and re-discover who you are in the life you wish to choose for yourself.
I am a firm believer in the power in human connection and the healing that can come from opportunities that allow us to be seen, heard, and understood in spaces where we have not always been. Choosing to show up for yourself in this space can require tremendous courage and vulnerability. How incredible is it that you’re here. Together, I hope we can help you unburden from what no longer serves you, and confidently reconnect with what feels important and meaningful to you.
