If you’re looking for a therapist who is basically David Rose meets early-00’s Britney (with a dash of Drag Race & a pinch of recycled WeHo go-go boy,) you’ve clicked on the right profile. But please don’t let my humor undercut the reverence & respect I have for the therapeutic process. Self-empowerment, radical acceptance & authentic human connection will be the cornerstone of our work. I utilize strength-based, affirmative & neuroscientific theory to guide us...but healing doesn't happen via theory. It lies in you -- your hopes, hardships, successes & infinite wisdom. Sometimes we'll laugh. Often, we'll cry. But either way...
You won't walk this journey of self-discovery alone. Because life can be very #EwwwDavid. Break-ups are a beast. Addiction is a mo-fo. Racism, homophobia & sexism are hardcore capital-T Traumas. Even the strongest of us need support in forcing our inner-saboteur to sashay away. So let's lip-sync for your legacy & unleash that authentic, empowered YOU!
Warning: I'm not the kind of therapist who nods & asks: "How do you feel about that?" I work in an "interpersonal solution-focused collaborative language systems" format. Meaning, I'm super interactive & we're gonna work to beat back your drama & trauma. Because if you can’t love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love someone else? Now let the music play!
