About My Clients

With prior experience in the entertainment industry, I understand the unique challenges faced by those in creative fields. Other specializations inclue working with adults, adolescents/young adults (12-25), and LGBTQ clients in the areas of depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I engage every therapeutic relationship with curiosity, respect, creativity, and heart.

My Background and Approach

I balance deep empathy with directness to promote growth. Drawing from a Psychodynamic foundation and incorportaing other modalities such as Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I collaborate with clients to tailor the powerful healing process of therapy to their unique experiences and needs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I truly believe in the power of therapy to expand your relationship to yourself and the world around you. Holding space for people, teaching tangible social and emotional skills, walking clients through dark and difficult times, and seeing clients grow is a thing of beauty and importance to me. And, as you change, grow, and learn, I am not just a blank slate, I am moved and wisened by working with clients. The work invigorates and inspires me.
