About My Clients
I work with individuals
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in LA, CA, and CO. I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a PhD in Counseling. My counseling is supportive but direct. I provide space for honest reflection and examination of your choices, actions, and the purposes they serve. Our work focuses on recognizing what you can control, making effective decisions, and taking greater ownership of your life. Sessions may last from one to three hours, but the session rate remains the same.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people should be free to live honestly and authentically, without being controlled by shame, rigid expectations, or the approval of others. With that freedom, however, comes personal responsibility. I believe behavior serves a purpose, even when it is unhealthy or ineffective, and that understanding this purpose can help us make better choices. Compassion should not require avoiding difficult truths, and support should not excuse us from accountability. I believe the whole person matters—including physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, sexuality, identity, environment, habits, and sense of meaning. Although we cannot control every circumstance or the actions of others, we can become more aware of the forces affecting us, make more effective decisions, and take greater ownership of our lives.
