I have been in the mental health field for five years with a master’s in mental health counseling and, currently, obtaining my doctorate in counselor education. I have worked with a plethora of symptomatic presentations, but my specialties lie in cutting-edge practices of chronic pain and mind-body disorders, sexual disorders, and trauma/PTSD. Prior experience in domestic violence and sexual assault crisis counseling, along with community advocacy for mental health services. I view health holistically: mind, body, and spirit. I have a deep understanding of how our mind and body effect one another; overall health is my priority.

I practice mindfulness psychotherapy, which means I will provide you with an array of tools to help you slow down and start addressing the long-overdue feelings and emotions claiming your attention. In a world characterized by speed and long to-do lists, slowdown seems like a luxury not accessible to many. However, the practice of paying attention is doable in small doses. Emotions affect you, but even more when you avoid them. They manifest as anxiety, depression, knots in the stomach, headaches, short temper, a clogged throat, fights with partners or children, insecurity, and the list continues.

I strive to provide you with a safe, authentic, and non-judgmental space so that you may express yourself freely. Our relationship will be a unique connection that will be tailored to your specific needs. If you are someone who is struggling with anxiety, internal family issues, depression, cultural and identity concerns, chronic health issues, and life transitions then schedule your free 15-minute phone consult or first session today.

Down bad? Feeling wonky? Lets talk about it. I help clients with a variety of issues by tailoring my therapeutic approach to their unique needs and goals. I want everyone I work with to realize their full potential by restructuring maladaptive thought patterns that lead to distress and poor functioning. I hope to give my clients the space to process their thoughts and emotions, and understand the ways in which their behavior and subconscious beliefs about themselves and the world around them play into false narratives that ultimately keep themselves down. I strive to help my clients to learn to love themselves without condition.

I believe strongly in the power of relationships and their impact on the emotional and mental health of all individuals. My work with clients is never in a vacuum but always in the context of their life. For this reason my specialty is working with couples and families in conflict, with adolescents seeking identity through peer interactions, and with individuals from minority groups of all kinds who suffer the trauma of being invisible so much of their lives. The style of my work with clients is very interactive, also reflective of my focus on the relational arena.

Finding a therapist who you connect to is important in achieving your goals. As a psychotherapist and drama therapist with over twenty years of experience, I specialize in the integration of verbal psychotherapy and the arts to help people move from a place of feeling stuck to a place of feeling empowered, confident, and creative. I bring warmth, compassion, humor, truthful communication and collaboration to the therapy process, offering a space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings creatively and work toward solutions and resolutions at your own pace.

I see myself as an intuitive, creative, informed, and highly trained Clinical Psychologist that provides a safe, nonjudgmental, and transformative environment. Therapy with me fosters a deep sense of engagement and connection, a sense of feeling heard and understood, and clarity where there was previously ambiguity. This work is active, penetrating, and engaging. Together, we will create a climate of discovery where you will feel heard, while also experiencing my active participation and direction. Many of my clients are high-achieving, bi-coastal creatives and professionals.

My foundation as a psychotherapist began with art. My first degree was from the San Francisco Art Institute. Art making is always a form of self-study. My approach to to art was always with an interest in making concrete shapes from the mystery of one’s internal life. Because of this psychological understanding of art, I pursued a master’s degree in art therapy. While working as an Art Therapist I also served as a caseworker with the chronically mentally ill population. I wanted to further my education so enrolled in a social work program which culminated in my receiving an MSW and then worked to earn a LCSW.

Self-betterment is an investment that is aligned with self-love and positive reinforcement. I believe that identifying the underlying issues is imperative to effectively manage and increase your resilience against daily stressors. My ultimate goal is to build a trusting client-therapist relationship that will promote change and lead to a positive psychotherapy outcome.

My style as a psychotherapist is supportive, empathic, and nonjudgmental. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with relationship issues, overwhelming emotions, and challenging life circumstances and transitions. I aim to help people better understand their areas of struggle and how they can use their strengths to overcome challenges. My goal is to help the people I work with achieve meaningful change. I prioritize tailoring treatment to individual needs. We can either begin therapy with concrete problem solving techniques and skills, or with examining what is going on in your life and identifying areas to focus on.

I specialize in working with individuals, families, and couples. My intentions are to empower my clients to create positive change in their lives in ways that create movement towards better health, stronger relationships, and greater overall life satisfaction.

My therapeutic style is warm, direct and highly interactive. I am not a passive listener, I provide lots of feedback and I don't shy away from using a blend of good humor when appropriate. I specialize in individual therapy but also love working with couples and seeing how they grow stronger together and make lasting changes in their relationships.
