Because therapy is such a personal process, I believe that the most important element in choosing someone is the degree of fit between you and your therapist. My training at Northwestern (grad and post-grad) emphasized that we must approach each client with a customized toolkit of interventions and styles to unlock their unique needs for change. I have been practicing for twelve years, which brings a level of experience balanced with a sense of ease. Being a recent transplant from Chicago where I trained and practiced, I bring a fresh perspective and an eagerness to delve into serving those clients in Orange County. I am adept at working with individuals, couples, families, blending families, and extended family systems. One may present under an array of headings: from teens to adults, from life transitions to intensive support. And because one can experience so much in even a slice of a lifespan, my practice deals with the ability to unpack and support that complexity. I believe this profession is a privilege: to help and hear others. I deeply believe in the power of meeting a client where they are at – this sense of trust and connection can lead to so much change in a client’s life. I bring warmth, understanding, keen observation, and a little bit of humor to my work.
