I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. At this time I am only taking individual female clients over the age of 18. I enjoy spending quality time with friends and family, comedy, theatre, filmmaking, creative writing, improvisation, nature, traveling, film and television, documentaries, dancing and making art of all kinds. I graduated from the High School for Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, Texas. In college, I studied theatre, documentary film and creative writing. I have a BA from Columbia College Chicago. While in Chicago, I was on the faculty at the Second City Training Center where I directed and co-wrote original sketch comedy revues and taught acting and improvisation to children, teens and adults. I received my master's in clinical psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles. I am currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In our first session, with female clients over 18, I want to learn about you, your life story, where you grew up, how you spend your time, your current life circumstances, your family of origin, your relationships, your hopes, dreams, struggles, goals and how I can best support you.
My female clients over 18 feel emotionally safe and accepted exactly as they are. I approach sessions with empathy, honesty, and a healthy sense of humor.
My goal is to increase self compassion and compassion for others as individual women over 18 navigate their personal, academic and professional lives.
