About My Clients

My clients are Adults- Teens and often are fun, intelligent and honest in what brings them in to Therapy. Sometimes they have seen other therapists and it hasn't gone as they hoped, we try again and work on identifying symptoms and treatment. My clients lead, they drive their own bus I say and I am one of the many people in their lives providing guidance and expertise in areas maybe not seen or in strengths not recognized. Healing opportunities are offered within many areas of this work.

My Background and Approach

So many have told me they are surprised I don't sit and nod at them but give active feedback in addition to listening well and remembering their stories. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a conversational style along with other modalities, it all depends on the identified clinical need and the request of help by clients. Humor is important, I believe in being a real human in this process as we work together in healing, growth and learning.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I support my LGBTQI+ clients, buy from diversely owned minority businesses and believe wholeheartedly in learning from others - listening and respecting individuals and their stories/histories. I've organized walking and raising money on behalf of prevention of suicide, have experience in emergency psychological services and have lived family experiences with neurodiversity and mental disorders. I recognize how my privilege may be perceived and how my experiences as a woman matter- I try to provide a bridge that was needed long ago. The work is here and now, I consider myself grateful to be chosen as your provider.
