About My Clients

provide culturally competent, nuanced services to people from all sorts of backgrounds and life experiences. Given the cerebral orientation of my practice philosophy, I have experienced particular success with highly-sensitive persons, those that are detail oriented, and people who are primarily driven to understand how all the layers contribute to a larger picture. I work best with people seeking more meaningful, honest connections with others and a desire to live more authentically.

My Background and Approach

My clinical work focuses on identity issues, defensive functioning, maladaptive coping behaviors, distorted cognitions, family and relational dynamics, and issues of trauma. I emphasize growth skills in resilience, intuition, coping, and self-esteem. Overall I help to foster the ability to be more vulnerable, honest, and accountable in our actions and relationships with others. In a society that swings back and forth in extremes, the balance between getting our own needs met while meeting and respecting the needs of others can be a perpetual conflict.
