“I approach counseling from an emotion-focused and expectation-oriented perspective. I work to guide clients through the exploration of the meanings and societal expectations that guide how they move through the world. I believe that understanding how our culture, gender, society, family, etc. inform our identities allows people to ditch the concepts or social expectations that don’t fit and pursue the ones that feel truly authentic. In therapy, I work to teach clients how to understand their emotions as information about how they are experiencing themselves and the world; and where to initiate change. My counseling style is warm and exploratory. My approach and style are particularly helpful when exploring one’s identities and healing from cultural traumas inflicted based on them.”
