My communication style

Most clients would describe our communication in sessions as open, candid, and insightful. I will always allow you the space to process and gain clarity, and I will also gently challenge you when you find yourself getting "stuck." Sometimes we may need to go deep; other times we may need to breathe, laugh, or meditate.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist has been unique I worked in arts and entertainment before completing my MSW in 2007. I have always been a social activist and supporter of global change, but it wasn't until I began to do the work of healing my own personal and generational traumas that I understood the value of the therapeutic process.

My goals for you

To reach your goals in treatment, I always suggest working with 1-2 stressors that are asking the MOST for your attention. We'll identify what your ideal outcomes are and what path we can take to get there. Treatment planning will always involve you learning effective coping strategies to deal with stress or mood changes.

Our first session

During our first session, we will discuss your reasons for coming to therapy and what you are seeking to resolve or experience differently in your life. I will ask a lot of questions to gather your history and current experience, so I have a full picture of your situation and can better able to assess and determine how I might help you.
