"As a psychotherapist I strive to assist my clients in the process of becoming more whole in all aspects of their lives. My primary training is as an art therapist and I use an integrative approach to promote healing. I find that enhancing talk therapy with experiential methods gives my clients the freedom to express their deepest selves. Within the therapeutic relationship we can find the existing internal nuances and textures that make us all unique and valuable.
My work includes seeing individuals, adolescents and adults, who have depression/anxiety, past trauma, addiction related issues and middle-aged challenges."

"I believe that psychotherapy is not just about fixing what is broken; it is nurturing what is best within ourselves.We are not defined by our problems; instead, we are defined by our capacity for growth and change. When individuals feel empowered, they can be full participants in their lives, and bring about more positive change. I also believe that what drives positive therapeutic outcomes is the relationship between therapist and client. I place tremendous emphasis on creating safety through authenticity, empathy, trust, and collaboration."

"I share space in a large individual private practice with psychiatrists, a psychologist and a social worker. I work with adults experiencing a variety of issues, including anxiety and mood disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, and addictions. Many of my patients are seeking help with issues from early childhood, including early trauma and childhood abuse. Some patients desire to understand their relationship difficulties, and others want to know more about child rearing, job dissatisfaction, or recent trauma. Some patients are considering divorce so I will work with them individually or as a couple."

"Sometimes our lives get to a point where we're just surviving, rather than thriving. In survival mode, we cope the best we can - this may mean using disordered eating behaviors, self-harm, substance use, self-criticizing inner talk, or self-destruction. I'm here to help guide you out of survival mode and into your best life. In therapy, we'll explore how you're surviving and how you can thrive. We'll identify changes you want and I will offer suggestions to help you create these changes. We will balance this change with lots of self-compassion."

"Are you a college student or young professional experiencing stress and anxiety? Are you having struggles with your relationship or friends? I work with individuals on exploring their existing coping skills while learning new skills they can bring into their every day lives.

"We can all get lost in the hurt and pain that we encounter in life. In these moments it is often hard to connect with others and, more significantly, embrace our own worthiness and inner wisdom.

My collaborative approach empowers you to reconnect with your authentic self. Together we will uncover the internal messages that hold you back from living fully and put in place the support and tools needed to live a more satisfying life."

Dual Diagnosis Therapists
Dual diagnosis (also called co-occurring disorders, COD) occurs when clients suffer from a mental illness while also experiencing a substance abuse problem. Diagnosing a psychiatric disorder in someone with a substance abuse issue is challenging as the drug abuse itself can often produce psychiatric symptoms. These dual diagnosis therapists in 78731 may provide dual diagnosis programs, dual diagnosis facilities or 78731 dual diagnosis treatment - dual diagnosis rehab may be relevant. A therapist can help provide support or connect you to a 78731 COD network or support group.
