I bet you've probably spent a good deal of time sifting through the sea of clinicians listed on this website, and let me tell you, it is a beast. Finding a good therapist is like dating. Who looks smart? Who seems warm and compassionate? Who's attractive? Nobody is perfect, but you don't want to settle either. Perhaps they have great insight and are very pedigreed, but don't seem particularly warm or approachable. Or vice versa. What to do? Shop around until you find a proper match. You are unique. Not every therapist may suit you.
Having worked for universities, community agencies, hospitals, and psychiatric institutions, I am experienced working with a diverse clientele in terms of gender, age, ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, LGBTQIA status, political affiliation, socioeconomic status, people with disabilities, and people with multiple psychiatric disorders and substance abuse.
I have experience working with creative people, and can offer an exceptional therapeutic understanding to them. As part of my practice, I offer house calls (home, office or studio). Contact me and if we're not a match, I'll help you find someone who is.
