therapy and coaching for
individuals
children
Children have big emotions and don't yet have the tools to express them the same way that adults do. ​
​
I have special expertise in working with children from
multicultural and multiracial backgrounds, as well as working with children whose families have stories of adoption, divorce, blending families, neurodiversity, foster care systems, and immigration.
​​​​
With your child, we will explore developmentally-appropriate emotional expression and regulation skills via:
​​​​
-play therapy
-sandtray therapy
-expressive arts
-dramatic play therapy
-reading books
-mindfulness
-exercise
-dance​
-movement​​
teens & young adults
Teenagers and young adults are navigating social dynamics at school, at home, and online, 24/7. They are feeling
societal and familial pressures
to make decisions about jobs, colleges, and their futures, all while navigating a changing body and world.​
​​
​
I provide a
safe and nonjudgmental space
to explore typical topics that teens and young adults are exploring such as:
​
​
-relationships
friendships
-societal pressures
-familial pressures
-identity
-academic pressures
-neurodiversity
-decision making
-healthy sexuality
-social media
-career pathways
​
adults
Adults are navigating all kinds of uncertainties: money, relationships, identity, career, friendships, grief and life transitions. We were told to "grow up" but often weren't shown good examples of what it meant to be a healthy, responsible, emotionally mature adult.​
​
I will listen deeply to your story and pull on threads to understand the patterns and coping mechanisms you've developed over a lifetime. Ways we'll work together and topics of exploration might include:
​
-somatics (movement & body awareness)
-mindfulness
-parts work
-meditation
-movement
-identity
-neurodiversity
-gender and sexuality
-relationships and family
-career
-money
-liberation theory
-systems theory
There are countless ways of being, therefore there are countless ways of healing. My main goal is to uncover, alongside of my clients, their own individual and ancestral ways of knowing, healing, and unlearning.
​​
​
​
Some modalities, belief systems, and ancient wisdoms that I draw from include:
​
- somatics (movement & body-focus)
-relational therapy
-psychodynamics (symbols, dreams)
-humanistic
-systemic (considering internal, family, & societal systems)
-liberatory (drawing from ancestral belief systems, & cultural ways of knowing)
-yoga & ayurveda
-mindfulness & Buddhism
​
I am a student of the world's cultures & religions, therefore I carry with me the teachings of all of the people & places that have shaped my life.
