ABOUT

Background and Style

I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in Los Angeles and have worked in community mental health and private practice for numerous years. My education and training have led to me to work with people from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and of all sexual orientations and genders.

The foundation of my style is rooted in Narrative Therapy, a collaborative approach that addresses the social, family, and political contexts impacting life issues. Working within this interactive and creative framework, I use reflective questions and curiosity to promote more self-awareness, confidence, and better relationships.

While my core philosophy is grounded in Narrative Therapy, I also draw from mindfulness practices and trauma-informed therapies, including EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. These approaches provide practical tools for understanding how challenging experiences can shape both the mind and body. This can be especially valuable when significant or relationally painful events are difficult to put into words, yet continue to show up physically and emotionally in everyday life..

Therapy can lead to significant personal change because it provides a space to challenge diminishing judgments, rediscover forgotten skills and intentions, and expand personal resources.

I look forward to connecting with you in this meaningful process.
