There’s really only one question you should ask a prospective therapist: “Were you a H0T MESS in your 20's?!” If they refuse to answer, either (a) they’re not going to be real with you or (b) they’re still a hot mess. But let me put your mind at ease: Throughout the 00’s, I was full-on riding the Hot Mess Express. (The boys of West Hollywood & the casting department at BRAVO can back me up on this.) But thankfully - as sales pitch-y as it might sound - therapy changed everything for me; and for over a decade, it’s been my mission to pay that healing & growth forward. (I'm serious about that!)
As a collaborative therapist, I’ll bring humor, playfulness & a deeply compassionate presence for whatever you’re carrying; but we’ll absolutely get real with each other. It's my job is to cut through life’s crap, guide solution-focused plans that dismantle the world's bullsh!t & get you living your best damn life possible. (You deserve this!)
I'm super proud of my "clinical credentials" (10+ psych professor, published health journalist, EMDR-trained, addiction specialist.) But what's most important is OUR connection & your trust in my ability to support your growth. If my hot mess 20's taught me anything, it's that humans can do hard things. If I can, YOU can. Call me & let's get it done!
