Therapist Overview
My belief is that we’re all works in progress, having found this to be true of clients struggling with life changes to even the most complicated clients whom I’ve seen–young gang members, in whom I’ve had the privilege of seeing humanity and goodness. The role of therapist, for me, is one of empowering, bearing witness to life’s bewilderment and suffering, and jointly creating a peace of mind and resilience, while honoring one’s own truth and rewriting our narratives in a way that makes sense to us as we make meaning to our lives. My specialties are working with anxiety, depression, and trauma in youths and adults; as part of the legacy of my roots in counseling psychology, they include interpersonal problems, the world of work, and developmental, lifespan issues. The uniqueness to my practice is the extraordinary diversity of individuals and families I’ve had the honor and privilege of working with.
