I help high-achieving professionals, activists, artists feel better emotionally and improve their lives.
Do any of the questions below resonate with you?
Feeling like your emotions are just too much? Are you tired of feeling anxious and sad? Do you feel like you’re trapped in a self-defeating cycle? Hard to find the right words to express what's happening in your head or body?
Are you burned out? Feel like others are expecting you to mess up? Feeling pressure to compromise your values to get ahead? Others have unfair expectations of you? Beating yourself up for small mistakes? Feeling like an imposter? Tired of carrying the burden of being the only person of color or LGBTQ+ person at your job? Or maybe you feel like you have to prove yourself over and over again as one of the few people who look like you in your field?
Is the stress of being the first one to “make it” in your family creating tension with your relatives? Do you feel guilty for "making it?" Does it seem like your relatives, partner, or friends don't understand how much stress you are under? Are friends and family asking for your time and money and you find it difficult to set boundaries?
Do you have the career and title but still feel unfulfilled? Still searching for love and feel like its not being reciprocated? Maybe you've spent so much time on your education and career that you now find that it's hard to recognize your own voice? Feel like you're living someone else's dream?
If these questions sound like you, I may be the right therapist for you.
I use a combination of culture and trauma-informed cognitive, emotion-focused, and somatic techniques to help you (1) better understand and effectively communicate your emotions, values, and needs; (2) develop tools to cope with prejudice, discrimination, and oppression in the world and at work; and (3) improve your mental health and relationships.
