I am seeing clients in California (in person and Telehealth) and Michigan (Telehealth). We all want to be understood and feel like we are making progress towards our life goals or simply feeling better. My approach is comforting, humorous, humble, creative and lovingly direct. Everyone needs connection and in my experience the benefits of connecting and being seen by someone in therapy are many. Visit my website or call at 626-327-3456 for a free 25 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit. Making sure we connect is very important.

Most days it feels like nobody understands what you are going through. You are doing your best to keep it together, but inside, it feels like you are barely holding on. Maybe you are struggling to move on from something that happened in the past. There is an inkling that it is affecting you deeply, even if you cannot quite put your finger on it. All the other parts of your life—work, school, relationships—are struggling, too. As you work harder to cope, you wonder if life is going to feel this way forever. You have done everything you can to heal on your own, but you are still hurting.

“Taking care of yourself is not a selfish act.” -Leslie Knope. Congratulations on taking another step in your healing journey; I know finding the right care can be overwhelming. Drawing from my own marginalized identities, lived experiences and work with clients, I have witnessed the barriers to receiving treatment firsthand and understands the significance of being a clinician who is knowledgeable about how identities impact one’s journeys. Because of this, cultural humility, identity-affirmation, and social justice are important values to me.

As humans, our experiences impact our mental and physical wellbeing, reinforcing core beliefs and the way we know ourselves. We seek comfort & stability in a variety of ways- some helpful, some not.

If you’re ready to discover more about your patterns and the barriers you’ve experienced along the way to thriving, now is a great time to begin exploring.

Reaching out for help from a therapist can feel difficult or uncertain, but it also reveals the part of you that knows things can change. I believe that therapy can provide a place for healing, growth and creativity. Whether you are starting therapy for the first time or seeking a new approach, I will meet you with compassion and curiosity - working to create a space in which you feel safe and deeply heard. My style is warm, nonjudgmental and creative. Together we will find space and meaning for that which may not yet be fully felt or understood.

Pain hurts and is often what brings us into therapy. Buried in the hurt is a small seed of a hope for change. As your therapist, I see you as a whole and complex person and not just your "problems." As safety and trust are created between us, therapy and the therapeutic relationship can be a vehicle for change and healing. The unique relationship we'll build will provide new ways of being and relating out in the world and within you.

I work with artists and creative people seeking change, growth, and a desire to be known and understood. Perhaps you feel disconnected from yourself or want to explore what gets in the way of meaningful connections with others. You may want to examine the underlying causes of destructive behaviors, anxiety, or depression. Or explore issues related to gender, sexuality, or identity. Therapy can help organize what is confusing or overwhelming you.

I believe that therapy is a truly personal experience. The decision to seek support is a courageous one.

Based on your individual goals and needs, I may integrate mindfulness-based interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or trauma focused therapy.

As a survivor of Childhood Trauma, I've been committed to removing the mystery from the self-healing process - both for myself & for my clients - since I first graduated as a therapist in 1997. During my study of how to heal, I developed a proprietary 6 Step System that is based on principles found in Cognitive Behavioral, Embodiment, Mindfulness and Emotion Focused Therapies. Turns out, there's a way to heal trauma triggers - both "Big T triggers" and "little t triggers." Both types of triggers can interfere with your relationships, your sense of happiness and your ability to overcome those pesky habits you don't tell anyone about.

Whether you're exploring gender or sexual identity for the first time, or have been out for 20 years, having a therapist that can relate to your experiences is vital. You may feel as though you didn't get the handbook of "how to human," or believe that there must be a secret ingredient that you've somehow been missing in order to feel better. It can be frustrating to feel as though you've tried everything just to be heard. If you've been taught to mask or hide your true self in order to survive in a world that constantly tells you that you shouldn't exist, it can be transformative to be seen and held as you are.
