Accepting your whole self can help your personal relationships, professional growth, and creative flow. I welcome clients of all identities and alternative lifestyles. I love working with neurodivergent folk.What makes you different is likely your greatest strength. I'm here to help you find comfort within yourself; usually without the use of medication. When helping clients withdraw from drugs and alcohol,I respect the harm reduction model. As a parent, I understand we make mistakes - and how painful it can be to accept those mistakes. Let's discover and own your authentic self, and deepen your experiences of joy and intimacy.
Upsetting or intrusive thoughts can be so frightening that we feel trapped inside our own minds. I'm here to help you find comfort within yourself; usually without the use of medication. I began my work in crisis intervention, and have extensive experience helping clients thrive after trauma. I grew up in the Palisades, and I understand the community loss.
Even during the bleakest aspects of life, you can still enjoy the brightest moments as well. For treatment to be successful, a client must have a strong sense of trust and comfort with their therapist. I am here to provide that comfort, sometimes with humor. Your darkest secret? I've definitely heard it, and probably done worse. We're all works in progress.

I am good at getting clients to feel comfortable quickly. I don't judge and I don't hold back. Your self worth has to be strong to make changes in your life. One of my own strengths is seeing the goodness in other people, and helping them to see the goodness in themselves, and to overcome shame. I deal well with highly volatile personalities and complicated, difficult family dynamics.

I am well versed in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical therapy (DBT), existential therapy and psychodynamic techniques. That said, I don't believe therapy is a one size fits all system. We will utilize what is comfortable and helpful for you specifically, which may change as we go along, and will always be discussed openly and collaboratively. We are a team.
