I also specialize in addressing trauma, grief, sexuality, career transitions, adjustment to college, and infertility and postpartum concerns.
Like any relationship, a good fit with your therapist is the foundation for getting started. In an atmosphere of safety and support, I’ll help you understand yourself in new ways, empowering you to change areas of your life that once felt stuck or overwhelming. Together, we’ll navigate these challenges while also being curious about the patterns and deeper meanings beneath the surface.

I work with clients struggling with bipolar disorder or depression, job and career stress, loneliness, and relationship conflicts.
In our work, we will explore how problems are shaped by the complicated social, cultural, and political contexts we live in. Though we live in a far from perfect world, we each have strengths and resources that can help us stand up to the challenges we face. I hope to help you feel empowered to lead a more purposeful and fulfilling life.

This work is my second career so while I don’t have decades of experience as a licensed therapist, I do have many decades of life experience.
My approach is centered around humanistic theory which sees the human as having a unique inner core with positive values that makes a constant effort to grow and actualize all its talents and aspirations. I use several therapeutic tools including Mindfulness, CBT, Psychoeducation, and Talk Therapy.

For a taste of how I guide clients through exploratory processes, read this career counseling article I wrote for sex workers
Sometimes there are parts of ourselves, our desires, or our pasts that are difficult to share with others. This could be because of a lack of acceptance or support in your social world, and could be related to feelings of fear, shame, or disgust. I work with clients to build a relationship in which it is safe enough for clients to bring disowned parts of themselves into compassionate awareness as they develop a sense of wholeness. Throughout this deep internal work, I ask curious questions about environmental factors in order to support liberation from internalized oppression and self-blame.

My job is to walk with you through this journey and to provide a space for growth and healing.
For BIPOC people and LGBTQIA+ folks, finding a space to be their authentic and unique selves feels impossible. Those of us who have been "othered" live in a world full of oppression as well as hurt, pain and trauma. This oppression leads to depression, anxiety, image issues, substance abuse, risky behaviors and self harm. My role as a therapist is to create that safe environment to work through the trauma, re-write the narrative and empower people to be their best versions of themselves that fosters love, acceptance, and healing.

We can understand and resolve conflicts in career and in relationships by learning the old ways you adopted when you were a kid that don't work so well now.
I think therapy is one of those jobs where it's a goal to become obsolete. I work often with: Creators and artists in SAG, DGA, WGA, and Motion Picture insurance; anxiety, codependent relationships; depression. If communication skills or self-esteem issues get in your way, I can be helpful to you.
