Did some things happen to you that make it hard moving forward and making sense of your situation? Do you feel your pain is hard to share with others and open up with confidence? My goal is to guide you through your narrative, and if not get back to your old self, then find the way to get out of your situation stronger and with more insight. My approach I approach your narrative with great attentiveness and empathy, I feel for you. Understanding is at the core of my practice. I can also help you understand yourself in order to identify the meaningful changes you can make about yourself. Incorporating mindfulness can enhance the sense of grounding and confidence with your decisions. My focus There could be many reasons for you seeking support at this time. When overwhelmed with complicated feelings like loss, sadness, lack of support, or some traumatic experience, it can be easy to feel lost. If your environment is unsupportive, this only adds to your distress and isolates you even more. I am here to help you identify your needs. My communication style I offer you a welcoming and caring, gentle space for self-reflection. Your experience matters and is unique only to you. I respect and value whatever you bring and the ways you are seeing the world. In other words, I allow myself to learn from you as well. I might give you a different lens of seeing, but you are an expert on your own self. My journey to mental healthcare I am a survivor, I was a refugee, penniless, and had no knowledge of the language in a foreign land. I was trained in the medical field when life challenges struck. I had to re-learn life's challenges and worked hard to understand what happened to me and what happened to the world. I keep going with what I know and believe. I also trust you can.
