My Approach to Helping
Research shows that a key foundation for success in therapy is the establishment of an authentic and trusting professional relationship between client and therapist. The BIPOC Healing Co. offers therapy with warm, genuine, & empathic BIPOC clinicians, that are trained in evidence-based practices and value client relationships. We value the wealth of expertise each person holds about their life & incorporate a collaborative approach to identifying & addressing therapy goals. Your therapist will strive to help you engage in honest reflection, empathically challenge unhealthy thinking, and offer you an objective perspective. Your therapist will also provide you with meaningful interpersonal feedback to foster insight & self-understanding regarding the internal & external factors that keep you stuck in unhealthy patterns. If you could use support on your healing journey, we would love to help!

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy
Using culturally-grounded, evidence-based practices, I work to create collaborative, authentic, and trusting professional relationships with clients founded in warmth, genuineness, and empathy. While therapy requires that we take an honest look at the parts of ourselves that we'd prefer to ignore, it also provides us with the opportunity to discover, own, and build our strengths. Rather than labeling parts of ourselves as good or bad, it is more useful to explore and understand the context in which certain characteristics developed. We then consider how the same traits may currently manifest in both healthy and unhealthy ways. The goal is to move towards meeting your whole self with the necessary compassion and empathy that lasting growth and change requires. In order to shift unhealthy patterns in our lives, we must first acknowledge all aspects of who we are. I've learned that optimal wellness lingers in the balance between seeking the courage required to confront the areas of our lives and aspects of ourselves that call for change, while gathering the wisdom and resilience necessary to accept the aspects of our lives and experiences that we cannot control. Therapy can help you move towards achieving and maintaining this balance.
