I am a seasoned therapist with over thirty years of experience providing individual and couple therapy. My extensive background includes resolving workplace disputes, custody issues, and trial consulting through my forensic psychology work.
My approach
I employ a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each client's unique needs. My modalities span psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, existential, and even dream and hypnotherapy when beneficial. I always select the approach that will best support my client's immediate situation and goals.
My focus
I work with individuals, couples, and families facing a wide range of challenges. My specialties include addiction, ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem, anger management, life transitions, and many others. I adapt my approach to resonate with each client I serve.
My communication style
My communication style aims to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to openly express yourself. I actively listen to understand your unique perspective while offering insights and guidance to help you gain clarity. Through our collaborative dialogue, we'll work together to find meaningful solutions.
My journey to mental healthcare
I began my journey in mental healthcare with a deep drive to help others navigate life's complexities. Studying at the University of Chicago and Antioch University ignited my passion for understanding the human psyche. I continued my post graduate training with an internship at Mount Zion Hospital and Medical Center. Over the past three decades, I've honed my skills to provide effective, compassionate care to my clients.
My goals for you
My goal is to empower you with the self-awareness and coping strategies to overcome obstacles and enhance your well-being. Together, we'll identify your strengths, change unhelpful patterns, and develop a roadmap towards the life you desire. I'm committed to supporting you every step of the way.
My first session with you
During our first session, I aim to create a warm, welcoming environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy and collaborate to define your goals. This session allows us to see if we're a good fit, and for me to learn how to best support you moving forward.
