  • One of the most important decisions you will make when considering psychotherapy is who you choose as your therapist. Can you be your authentic self with them? Are they nonjudgmental, open, and curious about you? Can they appreciate you, your world, and your relationships? Do they understand you in context? Can they help you? Are they good at what they do?

    My supervisors and mentors have included some of the world’s leading researchers and practitioners in individual therapy, relationships, trauma, LGBTQIA+ mental health and stigma, kink, and sex therapy--

    Many of my clients are high-achieving, bi-coastal creatives. I work with professionals in entertainment, music, art, philosophy, writing, medicine, tech, and psychology. I pride myself in helping those who have challenges juggling their expectations and roles at home/work with their responsibilities, deadlines, relationships, creative flow, and past experiences. No matter who you are, what you do, or where you come from, I believe that therapy is its own creative experience. Part of succeeding in that experience is finding the right collaborator.

  • I see myself as an intuitive, creative, informed, and highly trained Clinical Psychologist that provides a safe, non-judgmental, and transformative environment.

    Therapy with me fosters a deep sense of engagement and connection, of feeling understood, and of clarity where there was previously ambiguity.

    This work is active, penetrating, and engaging. Together, we will create a climate of discovery where you will feel heard, while also experiencing my active participation and direction. I ask questions, provide feedback, and help you identify and change the perspectives that get in your way when it comes to living your life according to your own values.

    I have a strong respect for both the journey and the destination. I place high value on the therapeutic relationship and the investment of time, energy, respect, and openness it takes to build a safe and transformative environment. We will work collaboratively and creatively to tailor treatment to meet your unique needs, and utilize interventions shown to be effective through scientific research.

    Am I the therapist to help you grow, explore, and support your well-being?

    Reaching out and asking for help can be difficult. With that in mind, my consultations are conversational and as comfortable as possible, especially when speaking about difficult topics.
