About

E-Therapy Café™ is Modern Online Therapy for Today’s Busy World with the mission to provide EXPERT online therapy professionally, conveniently, and affordably – anytime, anywhere. . The Boutique Team of Licensed Therapists and Certified Life Coaches are passionate change catalyst, focused on realistic goals in today’s fast-paced world.

I build generative, supportive and real relationships with dynamic folks of all kinds. To me, therapy is not about being "fixed," but about recovering from suffering and connecting deeply & authentically to your desires, hopes, and dreams. It takes courage to vulnerably engage with another person, especially when being close to others has been harmful in the past. I work with you to let go of old ideas of who and what you are supposed to be, encouraging unapologetic connection to who you truly are and what you want. I love working with veterans, PTSD and individuals with histories of trauma and abuse, women, LGBTQ folks, and anyone struggling with shame, self-love and acceptance.

As much as we all wish for calmer seas in our lives, as your therapist I can’t make life stop being unpredictable and challenging, but I can guide you and be there with you in your pursuit of personal freedom, improved intimacy, and greater tolerance of life's instabilities through a playful and healing therapeutic relationship. ANYONE who desires change can benefit and thrive in a therapy process.

I got into therapy from a background in theater, film and social justice work, and learned quickly that I have a true affinity for engaging deeply and vulnerably with others, and a passion for working therapeutically with individuals in the context of their lives and communities. I continue to make theater and write, and have personally experienced the powerful healing capacity of the arts.

Specialty

Qualifications

Education
My education and professional training include a Bachelor’s degree in Film from Boston University, an MA in Counseling Psychology and Drama Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies, and completion of an accredited Life Coach Certification training program. I am a graduate of the Institute of Developmental Transformations (DvT); DvT is a practice of improvisational play that pursues psychological growth and freedom with folks of all ages. I trained for two years in an outpatient PTSD clinical, actively learning and becoming skillful in a model of trauma-centered psychotherapy, effective with acute traumatic stress as well as chronic PTSD. As a clinician I am dedicated to transparency and humility, and always continuing my own growth so that I may grow my capacity to be with my clients and aid in their healing processes.
