Trauma can create a disconnection from the self, making us unaware of unconscious influences that affect our interactions, relationships, and family dynamics. The goal of therapy is to help you reconnect with the truth of who you are, becoming more aware, present, and authentic, which can lead to profound transformation. I am here to support you with compassion and understanding. I aim to reflect and honor your true self, believing in your ability to heal and trusting that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to support and witness the unfolding of your unique journey.

The people I work with sense a shift could be important. Their relationships seem to have a lot of ups and downs, they feel like they cannot control their emotions, and they sometimes experience unwanted mood swings. Specialized evidence-based treatment can generate a shift. They feel more centered in themselves, are less likely to be taken over by emotions, and can more quickly recover from intense feelings. Their relationships with themselves, and with others, improves. They gain a stronger sense of purpose, increased ability to communicate, more often avoid misunderstandings, and can resolve conflicts more quickly.

Prior to TCP, I have worked with survivors of domestic violence and within the immigrant community in Philadelphia in case management and organizing work.
