I work with clients on issues ranging from depression, anxiety, OCD, addiction to relationship, career and identity issues and I work with couples. I’ve had a specialty in hair pulling and skin picking since 2001: See my website. I use many theories in my work—psychodynamic, Jungian dreamwork and mindfulness practice to name a few—but my style is existential humanistic, working in the present. I see the ultimate goal as supporting you in living from an authentic, empowered place, feeling a sense of inner security, hearing and trusting your true inner voice—not the inner critic—and having a strong sense of self to guide you in life.
I spent a decade in the music and film industry working with musicians and artists prior to becoming a therapist and am a musician myself. I have a deep understanding of the particular struggles artists deal with and have supported many in removing the blocks to doing their best work.
If you're interested in working on hair pulling and/or skin picking, please also check my website and blog HelpForHairPullers.blogspot.com for more info.
