Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
Clients can expect to have a supportive space to explore what’s working and not working in their lives. Sessions with me often feel like a real conversation with clinical info peppered in. My therapy style is a balance of client empowerment, solution-focused interventions, and humor. Progress looks different for everyone. However, often it looks like being able to engage more fully in your life and live more in the present. I provide telehealth and in-person sessions. I see clients Tues-Fri from 9am-4pm PST (last appointment 3-4pm). For San Diego clients, I can see you for in-person sessions Weds and Fri. For Florida clients, I am only able to provide telehealth sessions and can only accept Aetna or private pay.
