"Congratulations on taking this first step to making positive change in your life. Therapy is a process of self-discovery, which brings us into contact with our experience of being fully alive, in the present moment. Together, we'll roll up our sleeves, and explore whatever it is that's been keeping you depressed, stuck, anxious and overwhelmed. I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we all have the capacity to transform our lives, find satisfying relationships, meaningful work, and make conscious contact with the incredible healing power inside of us all."

"My philosophy of care is to provide compassion and support to help you achieve your goals. This is accomplished by focusing on what is important to you, where you will be listened to and heard, and for us to share an honest and accurate reflection of your experience. If you've ever felt stuck or lost, or struggle with intense emotions, or have difficulty connecting with them, therapy with me is a powerful way to find yourself again, to restore balance and hope in yourself, and to revive your innate capacity for resilience and joy."

"Welcoming new clients Sunday and Monday sessions in my very own office! As a therapist I offer a safe space and open ears for those looking for non-judgmental psychological support. Life can be overwhelming, with the constant stress of balancing work, self, play, family, relationships, social life and outside obligations. I believe that psychotherapy can be a very helpful tool when exploring yourself and exploring yourself in relationships with others. I maintain a safe space for all race, faith, gender, and sexuality identities, as well as work with people exploring these topics. I look forward to working with you."

"If you struggle to stop or reduce substance use or other addictive behaviors, I can help. I use a harm reduction approach to understanding and treating substance use and abuse. Instead of focusing only on one’s addiction, this approach explores other contributing factors, such as co-occurring mental illnesses, family relationships, and medical problems. It encourages the client to explore their unique needs and background, and to develop their own treatment goals, which may involve moderation management, in addition to abstinence. I also offer treatment for other impulse control disorders, such as sex addiction. "

"Therapy begins with curiosity and a willingness to explore difficult emotions or areas that keep you stuck. Building a trusting relationship with a therapist in a warm, supportive environment is crucial to making the changes you want. Using a collaborative approach, we'll work to understand what is getting in the way of making positive change. I believe that each of my clients is the expert on their own experiences and I work to make you feel supported and heard, while helping you to shine a light onto things that are not serving you - limiting beliefs, negative patterns, or unhealthy relationships with yourself or others."

"Through therapy, we can author and re-author life stories and personal mythologies in order to bring self-supporting realities into existence. I work collaboratively with clients, cultivating existing strengths and internal resources in order to foster relationships and life experiences that contribute to clients' recovery and wellbeing. When invited, and with respect, I’m honored to explore what makes clients who they are, and to support who they want to become. "

"As a deeply creative person, you feel like life only gives you two options, and neither one is particularly savory. Option 1: Find a way to stay safe, warm and fed while dealing with mounting existential despair and confusion because your inner artist is basically dying. Option 2: Take the path less traveled (i.e., the creative path), while learning how to live life in free fall and become best friends with fear. Who wants fear as their constant companion? That sounds horrible. You feel uniquely cursed. You feel like fortune's fool. I know. Who asks to be born, and who the hell asks to be born as a creative or an artist? "

"I help individuals connect more to the core of who they are and make decisions and lead their life from this place. I work with those who are seeking support around speaking up, going through life transitions, making life decisions, working on self-esteem and self-confidence, seeking more direction and purpose in life, going through relational difficulties, experiencing anxiety and depression, artists, musicians, and creatives, scientists and engineers, immigrants and from immigrant families, and LGBTQ individuals.
