Movement, healing and transformation...
I believe that movement, healing and transformation is not a linear process and not the same for everyone. I am here to support you in your process. Whether it's healing from past trauma or processing more recent stressors or life changes. I listen and engage with you in order to develop a relationship of trust and authenticity. I believe that we are mind, body and spirit and my work aims to integrate our full selves.
A bit about my approach to therapy
I am trauma-informed and strength-based and my work is strongly infused by an indigenous worldview and liberation psychology. I utilize humor and focus deeply on the healing relationship. I utilize multiple approaches including narrative processes and trauma healing modalities such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems. I am a polyvagal informed therapist and recognize how the body/nervous system holds trauma. I attempt to work with you so you can define what empowerment is and how to achieve it.
What you can expect from our first session
As a bilingual/bicultural son of immigrant parents, I recognize that identity development, racial-related trauma, gender-related trauma and social oppression can be a significant stressor for many. I would love to work with you to find your ways towards healing, transformation and movement.
