About My Clients
I have a true passion for working with people from all walks of life. It is hard to reach out and find a therapist that you trust; I hope I can be that person for you, if not, that is okay too. I love working with people who have gotten to a place in their life where they are ready to make changes. My goal is to help you develop tools to use so that you can make positive changes in your life and feel like you are free to be your true, natural, beautiful self.
My Background and Approach
I have been a medical social worker for about 30 years and have worked in every capacity in the medical field. This experience gives me a broad knowledge of chronic illnesses, anxiety, life altering illnesses, depression and unexpected life changes. I am also a mother of grown children and get how hard parenting can be, especially as a single parent. My biggest strength as a therapist is that I have walked the walk through therapy myself and have learned a lot in my own life. As a medical social worker, I have met patients that have suffered terrible illnesses and trauma; I am always amazed at the physical and mental strength humans have. I have taken all of that experience and knowledge and use it with clients to develop attainable therapeutic goals to decrease symptoms you may be experiencing. I draw on thirty years of experience in the medical field and use an eclectic, humanistic style that is focused on CBT, solution focused therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am life long liberal; I grew up in California with a sense of acceptance and love for all people, all cultures and sexual identities. I believe that love is love and that all people deserve the dignity of being treated equally. I love animals, I have two 100lb dogs and they give me joy every day.
