About My Clients
I specialize in self-critical thoughts, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, social anxiety, and shame. A decade-long career as a screenwriter and film producer gives me a firsthand understanding of certain experiences shared by artists, creative professionals, and people on competitive and/or entrepreneurial career paths. I've also received certification training in Autistic-affirming and Queer-affirming care.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy — and to life — is curious and reflective, rooted in cultural humility and radical acceptance. I want to know who you are, and I want you to know that it’s okay to show me. I draw primarily from the theories of Person-Centered Therapy and Internal Family Systems, at times incorporating meditation and transpersonal elements. What that means for my clients is that I’m interested in going where you want to go, I tend to see the mind as made of many parts, and I believe that by stretching our conception of ourselves — both inward and outward — we can more fully become who we truly are.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Life looks a little different for everyone. For no one is it easy. We encounter challenges — in the world and in ourselves — and face them as well as we know how. We carry pain, often invisibly. We press on in spite of the doubts we feel about ourselves, our relationships, and our place in this universe. The way I see it, none of us are meant to do all of this alone. To engage in the process of therapy is to take a bold step inward, not knowing what waits in the dark. When taken with courage and openness, this step can lead toward some truly marvelous things — growth, healing, acceptance, and the person one is destined to become. If we work together, I can be your guide on this journey into yourself, to uncover the treasures hidden within. Using the tools of my training, we’ll lay a path of acceptance and curiosity. As you make discoveries on that path, I’ll be at your side, asking helpful questions and reminding you that you aren’t alone. We walk together. You hold the lantern.
