I like people, and I believe in an elastic understanding of the human condition. My approach is informal and centered in the belief people move within the world in ways that make sense to them. Daily decisions often reveal parts of the self developed during formative years; it is human to adapt emotions to stressful events. It is also human to reenact distress because it is familiar. Personhood is largely informed by the body's fundamental desire to feel physiological balance. Exposure to trauma may be part of someone’s balance, and therapy can be a place to gain clarity in ways we bond with ourselves/others and understand purpose.
I work to foster a space that feels co-constructed between my clients and myself, where there is safety in curiosity to build a more meaningful life. It is not uncommon to seek and recycle what we know. My work is focused on self-concept, existential distress, race, sexuality, and attachment to one's subjective meaning in their human experience.
I gather from existential, psychodynamic, relational, and evolutionary frameworks. Becoming open to the relationship between surroundings and the self feels critical for better understanding what helps a person feel safe. If my words speak to you, please say hello.
