Emotional pain, confusion, mental and social disconnection is real. In short or full throttle, these can stifle your life cycle, entice family discord and chaos, and take smiles away for generations of persons involved. What you don't realize while spinning in dispare is that calm, relief, and peace is possible and is within you all the while. You don't have to do it alone. You can put your life back together, change it to be exactly how you want it to be, and get back to an enjoyable life as only you can uniquely create and understand.
I've been a clinician for over 25 years. I've worked a variety of diaspora and populations, diagnosis and addictions, and a range of age ranges and service industries. My approach to therapy facilitates a collaborative synergetic experience, grounded in authenticity and complete lack of judgement.
Your life is YOUR story rich in individuality. I exercise empathy to create a safe space for you to recreate that story. I approach our alliance not with a “me/doctor, you/patient” disposition, but with a congruent and authentic ebb and flow navigated by presence and reflection that takes your directional process where it uniquely and naturally goes.
