I provide holistic, trauma-informed care that goes beyond just medication management. Together we'll address the underlying causes of symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or difficulty sleeping. My practice is LGBTQ Alllied, Body Positive, and Neurodiversity-Affirming. I take clients ages 18 and up, and I'm in network with Cigna, Aetna, Optum, United, Carelon, & Anthem BCBS. The fastest way to schedule is through the booking app on my website.
My relational style is warm and collaborative. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as CBT and psychodynamic theory in my practice to create a supportive, client-centered environment. During our sessions I will provide insight into your symptoms and give you the best treatment options for your unique needs.
We all have tremendous capacity to heal and grow, and whether this is your first time seeking care or you have felt discouraged by past experiences, my goal is to provide a space in which you feel seen and supported. To learn more about me and my practice, click on the link to my website!
