Therapy
I am currently taking online therapy clients from anywhere in California.
The biggest complaint that I hear from people about their previous experiences with therapy is that their therapist didn't DO anything. That's not me. I have a very active, solution-focused approach. Not only do I want to be there for you as an empathetic listener and learn to speak your emotional language, but I also want to help you take ACTION. To me, that means helping you identify the problem and find skills and strategies to make an immediate impact on your situation.
My approach is down-to-earth and grounded in reality. I draw heavily from cognitive behavioral therapy, which means that we will be examining your thought patterns as they relate to your feelings and I also integrate elements of psychodynamic, behavioral, and dialectal behavior therapy. Feminism and social justice are both personal and professional values, which means that my work considers your unique background and the power dynamics at play both inside and outside the therapy "room". LGBTQ+, kink, and polyam friendly.
Lastly, as a clinical neuropsychologist, I am also uniquely equipped to work with therapy clients that might have neurological differences caused by a brain injury, stroke, or advanced age. If you'd like to see whether we might be a good fit for one another, shoot me a message to get the ball rolling!
