I am a licensed psychologist who works primarily with adults. I have extensive psychotherapy experience in both university and community mental health settings. I specialize in working with members of historically excluded/marginalized groups; especially women of color. I view therapy as a collaborative, goal-oriented process in which I support clients in making meaningful changes in their lives. This work involves developing coping skills as well as deepening clients’ understanding of their relationship to themselves and others.
I strive to create a supportive yet challenging environment that aims to foster clients’ empowerment and build on their existing strengths and resilience. I do this by using an Interpersonal, Existential, Multicultural approach that emphasizes context, identity, meaning-making, and the therapeutic relationship as central to the change process.
Clients often describe me as: warm, understanding, and empathic; and express appreciation for my use of humor, directness, and authenticity during our clinical interactions. To help you make an informed decision, I offer new clients a free 30-minute initial consultation by phone. For more information, please contact me by phone, email, or visit my website.
