I am a licensed clinical social worker who practices both individual and couples therapy. I have extensive experience working with gay men, women, people of color, and international patients. My training as a social worker has given me the understanding of how societal oppression impacts my patients both in their lives and in how they feel about themselves. As a practitioner of psychotherapy I work to assist my patients in understanding how their minds work. A metaphor I often use with patients is that all of us can use a computer, but very few of us can actually access the code that runs the computer let alone change that code. Together I work with people to access, understand and then change the code that they operate under. My goal is never to provide answers for people, but to help people to understand themselves so that they can function and operate independently of their conflicts and problems. Thus, my hope is that together we can understand the problems you bring in such areas as addictions, depression, anxiety, relationships, intimacy or sexuality and then look at how these problems stem from the underlying conflicts you face.
