I am a queer, immigrant, gender non-conforming therapist focusing on trauma, identity-struggles, neurodiversity and personality disorders. I believe in care that is evidence-based and that can help my clients reach their goals. I help people identify how their past experiences are influencing their present, and recognizing things that truly matter to them. I focus on helping a person use that insight into working towards healing from the past, and building towards a hopeful future. I see myself as someone who joins my clients on their life journey and serve their needs in their attempt to improve their lives.
Our first session will typically involve us talking about what brings you to therapy, us getting to know each other and working towards identifying goals with therapy
My greatest strengths as a provider is my curiosity and my authenticity. I want to know and understand how you experience the world and what has shaped your understanding of the world. I believe that anything I recommend as a therapist, must be something that I am willing to do myself as well. I don’t expect anyone to take advice in therapy that I wouldnt give myself.
CPT focuses on healing people heal from their trauma related symptoms by focusing on its impact in their daily lives. CPT does not require a trauma narrative and healing happens in roughly 7-15 sessions
ACT focuses on recognizing what keeps us stuck in our lives, and connect with our values in order to continue moving forward and building a life worth living
