About My Clients
I specialize in supporting high achievers, underachievers, highly sensitive persons, and creatives. I also support adults who are racial, ethnic, social, or neuro minorities. Why does my specialization matter? You want a therapist who can understand the complexity of your life, identity, and history. You want someone who can see your strengths, respect your values, and challenge you in validating and positive ways.
My Background and Approach
Therapy works best when you feel supported and productive. I use compassionate, evidence-based teletherapy to help you achieve progress and growth. I tailor therapy to align with your needs and goals. A time-limited, solution-driven approach can be great for mild anxiety and stress reduction. Longer-term therapy can help you move on from the past, change thinking patterns, or resolve a bigger issue. Anxiety, stress, and burnout can wreak havoc on your nervous system and quality of life. I know this firsthand. I grew up in stressful, anxious, and emotionally intense circumstances. Like most families, we didn’t talk about mental health. I worked and volunteered in the nonprofit sector for many years. I enjoyed the work, but I got burned out trying to care for others without the knowledge and skills to stay happy and healthy. It’s that kind of real-world life experience, combined with training and dedication, that I will bring to our interactions.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I do my best to be welcoming, authentic, and trustworthy. I am committed to maintaining an inclusive and trauma-informed practice, where I serve people with different traits, identities, and backgrounds. As a community-engaged clinician, I take my work and social justice seriously. I'm an experienced guest lecturer, conference presenter, and professional collaborator. These values and priorities help me maintain best practices and find new ways to achieve positive outcomes for my clients. More than anything, I try to operate from compassion, acceptance, and action. Therapy can be a vehicle that helps you move forward. If you feel like you're wasting time and not seeing progress, or if you're dealing with emotional pain and struggle, contact me. I offer a free, no-obligation phone call to see if we're a good fit for therapy. Thank you!
