Introduction

If you find yourself experiencing recurrent symptoms and challenges, or relationship patterns that are causing you suffering, it can be liberating to address the underlying causes. Throughout my work with diverse clients, I observed that the unconscious repetitions of aversion, clinging, and reenactments of familiar/familial ways of being bind us in suffering. Utilizing a psychoanalytic approach to therapy, I can help you develop a deeper emotional self-knowledge, work through underlying psychological pain, and embrace growth and transformation. I strive to facilitate a reflective and explorative environment where the unbearable can be held and truth can be spoken. Multicultural and bilingual elements of my identity, and a history of enduring ethnic discrimination and immigration, significantly inform how I listen to my clients, think through trauma and fragmentation with them. During our initial sessions, we’ll pay closer attention to your current struggles and what’s motivating you to do psychological work. As therapy progresses, we’ll focus more on underlying causes. If you would like to inquire, we can schedule an introductory video call for both of us to ask questions and explore if this might be a good fit.
