Your objective: Spiritual integration. Cultural understanding. Embodying your values.

I work with people from all walks of life with varied backgrounds, challenges, needs, and goals.

Commonalities between them often include:

• Curiosity about themselves and others
• Striving for meaning and excellence in daily living
• Desire to live out values

Many want a therapist who can help them to clarify aspects of cultural identity or culturally influenced relational expectations and patterns, to illuminate conflicting values or pressures from others, and to navigate these complexities in ways that make sense to them.

Sometimes, they want a therapist who is prepared to have existential conversations and to integrate explorations of faith convictions and spirituality into the therapeutic work.

• Do you want to integrate your inner convictions into your life practically?
• Better understand who you are culturally, wrestle with challenging life experiences that involve cultural difference, or clarify your values as a cultural person and live them out healthily and without shame in your relationships?
• Live out of your true self or more fully participate in certain aspects of your life?

If your answer to any of these questions is, "yes," I invite you to reach out today.

I'm on a similar journey and bring education, training, and experience walking alongside others on similar paths to the conversation (see below).
