Great to meet you!

I specialise in helping people with mood conditions and addiction. I enjoy working with relationship, sex, and sexuality issues. I take a warm, empathic, and no-nonsense approach to therapy. I tend to be directive and involved with the goal of creating better outcomes for clients.

I began my career in mental health in the field of addiction. My clinical internship during was spent with people experiencing homelessness in Santa Monica. My second internship was spent in general private practice.

My approach to therapy

I meet clients where they are and help them reach their goals. I pull from many different treatment options, which allows me to find the right tool for the job vs applying a cookie-cutter approach in the hopes it helps. My style is more hands-on, direct and delivered with a sense of humour. I love helping people become more of who they are, which paves the way for them to reach their fullest potential.

What you can expect from me

I help clients reduce the intensity/frequency of symptoms associated with addiction or mood conditions. I help clients maintain sobriety. I provide a safe space from which we can talk about anything and everything. My clients usually reflect back to me that I have been able to help them quickly.
