Mission
We aspire to offer opportunities to heal, grow, and learn. In providing a space for adults from all backgrounds to feel empowered in their pursuit of well-being, we too continue to develop.
Philosophy
Stress and pain are unavoidable parts of life. Our reactions and perception of these situations can cause distress. Working together, you can reframe and learn from painful emotions instead of allowing them to take over.
The qualities of the therapeutic relationship are a powerful source of healing. We will recognize your strengths and the areas in which you may be contributing to the difficulties in certain experiences.
All that makes you a unique person - identities, culture, relationships, past experiences, current circumstances, and future goals - create a unique experience in psychotherapy.
Values
We respect and value all elements of your identity. Academically, this manifests as a passion for the role of psychology in addressing systemic inequalities.
Practically, this shows up as a pursuit of cultural humility. We strive to help you live a harmonious life with your values.
Sources of identity and power exist within us in a world that too often uses these for exclusion.
Your own constellation - ethnicity, race, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, socioeconomic status, and disability- is foundational to your growth.
Whatever the nature of your diaspora- your separation from the people and places you once held close or an internal scattering in which you seek to recollect disconnected parts of your identity - therapy can help.
All conversations are welcome in therapy. We can explore our differences and similarities with honesty and curiosity.
Every experience and perception is valid. It is my responsibility to provide a space that balances both support and challenge for you to examine all thoughts and feelings that you hold inside.
