About My Clients
I work with artists, entertainers, nurses, pilots, food service workers, freelancers, people who travel: the majority of my clients can't meet on a regular, recurring weekly basis. With those clients we schedule sessions as we go. Therapy works best when there is some consistency, sure, but it doesn't have to be the same day/ time every week: I think that's a dated view of therapy and has more to do with accommodating a therapist's schedule (and pocketbook!), instead of a client's needs.
My Background and Approach
I've been a therapist for over 15 years and have conducted individual and group therapy in prisons, rehabs and community outpatient clinics with diverse populations. I believe in therapy being a great format to facilitate change. Change is difficult, but it can also be exciting and exhilarating and I'm passionate about helping others through big life transitions. By the way, before being a therapist I worked in film production for a decade, so I know that big life changes can happen and can bring you closerI to what feels like your life purpose.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I would like to say I don't discriminate against anyone, but that is not true: I will not take on clients who are right wing, racists, homophobic, transphobic, Trumpers (obviously), extreme narcissists. Nor people who say "White (or blue) lives matter". To understand, empathize and help my clients I have to like something about them and the above makes it impossible for me (I admit I'm not that open-minded).
