About My Clients

I've worked with people from many walks of life. I have worked with and welcome artists, creative thinkers, those on the autism spectrum, LGBTQIA+ folks, as well as those who practice consensual non-monogamy. I enjoy working with those who struggle to live as their authentic selves, helping to find the path to living your truth. Without authenticity, we can struggle fitting into boxes and shapes that just don't fit. Can I help you be more you?

My Background and Approach

I've been a therapist for over thirty years and I've learned so much from my clients that helps me be a better therapist today. I usually start from a cognitive behavioral approach, seeking to understand what are your lived problems as you understand them. Once we've built a therapeutic alliance, we can begin to map out what your path to the authentic you might look like. I use insight-oriented therapy, psychoeducation, and mindfulness techniques to shape new thoughts and understanding. I also use polyvagal theory to help in befriending our nervous systems, seeking more connection and co-regulation in life. Curious?

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

We all have rough times in life. I believe therapy is a uniquely effective way to get to the root of things and to make change that matters and that lasts. I deeply appreciate clients who make the commitment to therapy and find their new path. It's a profound honor to be present with and to gently guide this process for my clients. Congratulations on taking the first steps!
