Hello! I offer individual therapy to California residents. I utilize an eclectic relational therapy style and specialize in working with adults who are creatives, artists, the LGBTQIA+ community who are experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, personality disorders, entertainment business stress, in recovery or struggling with substance use and/or disordered eating, and issues with sex, sexuality, trauma, chem-sex, inner child wounds, and body image by using exploratory harm reduction techniques. Connecting with satisfaction and contentment with life can lead to fulfilling potential, discovering meaning, and joy.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Developing new ways to cope, evolve, and maintain thriving relationships can be challenging but ultimately is an opportunity to grow. In the initial psychotherapy session, clients can anticipate a structured yet compassionate environment where they're encouraged to share their thoughts, emotions, and concerns freely. As a therapist, your primary goal is to establish a strong therapeutic alliance, fostering trust and rapport from the outset. Here's what clients can typically expect in their first session with you:
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, my greatest strengths lie in the harmonious blend of kindness, integrity, creativity, directness, maturity, and humor that I bring to my practice. With kindness as my guiding light, I create a nurturing and compassionate space where clients feel valued and supported. Upholding unwavering integrity, I maintain honesty, transparency, and ethical conduct, ensuring a foundation of trust and respect. Harnessing creativity, I explore innovative approaches and interventions tailored to each client's unique journey, fostering insight and growth. Through directness, I engage in open and authentic dialogue, challenging assumptions and facilitating meaningful exploration. Grounded in maturity, I navigate complex emotions and situations with composure and wisdom, offering perspective and guidance. And with humor as a tool for connection and levity, I infuse the therapeutic process with joy and resilience, reminding clients of the power of laughter amidst their healing journey.
