My Therapy Style

I specialize in working with high-functioning, creatives and executives, who are interested in personal growth. Many of my clients have experienced relationship distress, unresolved childhood trauma, and conflict with a co-parent, relative, or colleague. I am a veteran film and television industry professional and maintain an active creative career. I provide support to individuals by engaging authentically and exploring the therapeutic relationship, as well as guiding clients to encounter all of the parts of themselves.

Education & Training
