About My Clients
My ideal client is one who really wants to seek the knowledge to get out of a rut. There is a reason you may want to try therapy now and you are fully committed to the partnership we need to create lasting change. Typical issues I treat are mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, grief and life transitions. I am LGBTQ-allied.
My Background and Approach
I received a Master's Degree in Social Work from one of the best Social Work schools in the country. The approach there was rooted in tradition, seen through a social-justice lens, and provided me with a wonderful foundation. After that, through continuing education and experiences, I have added a number of approaches to my "tool box." I have also used and tested them out with clients to see what is generally successful. These methods include CBT, ERP, treatment of BFRBs and more. I have always specialized in play therapy and use expressive therapies with all ages. Because of my varied approaches, I have more ability to benefit you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have always had friends in the LGBTQ community, as my parents were musicians and they had gay friends. Even when it was not commonly recognized, I had friends who were transgender. After I got married, I added family members to this list as well as a Bi and transgender son. I am committed to serving this community. I have always believed in racial equality and am committed to fighting racism. I strongly advocate for religious freedom. Sorry, but if you support Donald Trump then I am probably not the therapist for you.
