Therapy = Storytelling

Many communities keep their history and longevity by way of story telling traditions - from riddles and proverbs, to legends and superstitions. They give way to experiences and lessons in growing up, loving, learning, and pain… so that others may know they are not alone. So that we can heal.

And what about your story?

I strongly feel that therapy is a way of honoring your untold struggles, achievements, and dreams.

And above all, therapy shouldn't be intimidating. You can expect me to be warm, compassionate, honest, humorous and insightful. I will also be challenging you at times, since therapy is all about work.

I combine traditional talk psychotherapy (such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy DBT) with expressive Art Therapy to help you see your own narrative history from multiple angles. In addition, I enjoy educating, using meditation and mind-body exercises, pop cultural references, and an occasional take home assignment to help further your self-exploration.

Topics I support clients managing include mood disorders (depression and Bipolar), anxiety, stress management, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, workplace or academic satisfaction, and multicultural challenges.
