About
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor based in California. I relate to clients with a mix of compassionate listening and down-to-earth dialogue. My approach to therapy is eclectic, primarily what's called "client-centered." My toolbox includes body awareness, mindfulness, and expressive arts. It's my belief that the relationship is the most important factor in successful therapy. I’ve worked with a broad diversity of individuals, couples and families. I particularly resonate with people and/or relationships with a foot in two (or more) worlds. This includes, but is not limited to: first and second generation immigrants; cross-cultural couples; genders, sexualities, and/or relationships that fall outside common definitions; and major life transitions. I also have a background in theatre, which has many lessons that can be applied to therapy: -Communication depends on not just on the words said but what’s under them. Bodies speak. Historical context matters. -We all can play multiple roles, with each other and with ourselves. -We are all shaped by a story, and we each have a rich and important story to tell -It is always possible to change the script.
