Since 2010, I have worked with children to older adults from many different backgrounds, cultures, lifestyles and careers. Before dedicating my life to psychology, I worked in medicine and multiple other professions. Along with my California Doctoral education, I was also educated in England, Austria, France, Switzerland and New Zealand. I am originally from Wisconsin.
From resolving daily stressors to deep traumas, I tailor therapy sessions to meet your needs. Your therapy will be a journey of self-discovery. I will help you explore and improve your life while reducing anxiety, depression and other signs of distress. I believe in brief therapy that works within your life and work schedules. Get to the roots of your distress - not just the surface causes - for lasting changes.
During your first session, I will welcome you and explain the process of our work together, while getting to know you and the reason(s) for your visits. I will ask general questions about your life history to understand you while creating comfort and safety.
