About

I think that our past experiences and the systems we exist in create a template for how we relate to ourselves and others. While many aspects of this template are adaptive and important for our survival, there may be parts that interfere with our ability to live fully and meaningfully. Together, we will identify the parts that are no longer serving you, which also means understanding the context in which they evolved and the purpose they held at the time. Therapy will involve exploring your inner world (unconscious defenses, fantasies, and memories), as well as the identities you hold and their sociopolitical implications. I value how unique each person’s subjective experience of the world is depending on their class, race, gender, sexuality, immigration status, body size, disability and other identities.
