I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a doctorate in Creativity and Spirituality. I'm passionate about being fully present with my clients while supporting their growth and transformation. I find there is inherent wisdom in body, mind, and spirit that, when supported, seeks opportunities to heal and balance.
My approach
I practice Integrative psychotherapy, which means I draw from many modalities. I resonate with person-centered therapy and have a strengths-based approach. As a long-time meditator, I integrate mindfulness and delight in sharing neuroplasticity, brain science, and our superpower, breath.
My focus
One of my specialties is LGBTQIA affirmative therapy. I also love working with artists and creators and weaving elements of creativity into the therapeutic experience. I'm comfortable with integrating spiritual issues, somatic therapies, medical concerns, and dealing with grief.
My communication style
My heart opens to listen deeply to your stories. I create a space to tune into radical acceptance. My work has been described as providing hope, humor, and healing. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to grow and transform.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a therapist is encoded in my DNA. I came to the planet to help. My circuitous path began as a performer and musician, led to being a massage therapist for 10 years, then to school to become a psychotherapist, and deepened into my call to teach love and offer spiritual companionship. Please join me in exploring your path to wholeness.
My goals for you
My approach to each client is individualized. Since each client brings unique issues, I stay open to provide creative and compassionate responses and strategies. Some clients come in and desire a structured treatment plan; others need a more organic approach that goes with the flow. I attune to each client’s needs and am willing to pivot when necessary.
My first session with you
I know how unnerving a first session with a new therapist can be. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and at ease. I'll let you know how the process works and what to expect, and I invite you to share as much as you are ready to share.
