Some background: I have 12 years teaching in secondary schools in California prior to becoming a therapist. I have dealt with considerable childhood adversity and loss and continue to build a skillset to help others through difficult times. I am proud to say I love what I do. I am passionate about seeing others change themselves for better, and heal through trauma, injury, and all kinds of adversity which has taken a toll on their spirit.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You will find unconditional acceptance of the most painful parts of your life experience, and form a much needed alliance in repairing hurt and trauma. You will begin the journey of rebalancing, grieving loss, achieving career goals, getting unstuck, strengthening relationships, "sorting it out," or slaying the monsters of addiction and compulsion.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I specialize in assisting clients to open new vistas of possibility. We tell stories and work together. You lead the battle for initiative in this relationship--your goals are my goals. I lead the battle for the structure of therapy that is necessary for your growth. Together, we create new narratives for the past, present and future of your life journey.
