About My Clients
It is all too easy in this world to let our suffering go unspoken. Between the demands of productivity through work or school, the roles we play in our personal relationships, and a society that is constantly flooding us with images of who we should be and products promising to get us there, it is difficult to find our own voice. Instead, we often become mired in anxiety, depression, addictions, and other unhealthy patterns of being in the world that disrupt our capacity to live fully.
My Background and Approach
My associates and I comprise The Freedom Clinic Psychology, P.C., a specialized group practice dedicated to the deep, transformative work of psychoanalytic psychotherapy for marginalized and at-risk populations. By integrating traditional psychoanalysis with evidence-based strategies for symptom management, we offer a comprehensive path toward both relief and profound self-discovery. We serve as a grounded sanctuary for individuals navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Much like the resilient redwood forests of our home state, our approach focuses on strengthening internal structures to foster lasting healing and genuine emotional autonomy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that every human being possesses an unlimited capacity for change and growth, no matter where they are in life. Over my 13 years of clinical work, I have witnessed thousands of people overcome their deepest struggles and transform their lives. My perspective is also shaped by my personal journey. I have a history of addiction, anxiety, and depression. Through my own therapy, I learned how to work through, resolve, and learn from these issues, leaving me with a profound desire to help others do the same In my practice, I view most mental health issues not as permanent flaws, but as unhealthy behaviors we learned along the way to survive. Because these responses are learned, they can also be unlearned. Together, we will work to dismantle those faulty, automatic behaviors and replace them with healthy, intentional ones that serve the life you actually want to live, and the dreams you choose to chase.
