Are you an animal lover? If a four-legged co-therapist sounds good, then you will love our center. The office is located on a beautiful ranch where animals abound. You can choose to talk in the office with a dog at your feet, a cat in your lap, or just enjoy the view of the horse pasture from the window. If walking and talking is easier, we can stroll the grounds, sit by the duck pond, or pet goats in the petting zoo. Or try Equine Assisted Counseling, an effective, experiential approach to therapy. You will interact with horses who act as a mirror, allowing you to gain valuable insights and solutions. The choice is yours.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with many years of experience working with children, adolescents, and their families, as well as adults. My interventions are heavily rooted in behavioral therapy and evidence-based practices including feminist and attachment theories. However, I tend to conceptualize clinical presentations from a multicultural and social justice perspective. While I employ empirically validated treatments to ignite change, I am also of the belief that there is no single story to any individual. Consequently, it is important to understand the social, cultural, political, and spiritual context of each individual.

You may be at the top of your game, but you feel stuck. Misunderstood. Something just isn't quite right. This may be affecting relationships, your work, or your ability to meet a goal you set. Things "should" be easy. They seem easy to other people. Why not you? I work with neurodivergent teens and adults who are discovering that their brains work differently. Moving into a space of self-compassion and understanding allows for a re-imagining of how to meet goals, connect and foster relationships, and excel at work or school.

My practice is guided by a belief in the healing power of being with. I bring compassionate witness and a warm, collaborative, relational approach that is informed by psychodynamic, somatic, feminist, narrative, attachment, and trauma theories.

ADHD and ASD Assessment: For years I have trained interns at a major medical center to assess for ADHD and Autism in adults.
I see people who might have grown up being seen as "weird" and despite their successes may still find it hard to shake a negative self-image that undermines their current efforts. You may struggle with a creative self that has been muted in favor of a professional self to accommodate the needs of family and others. You may be trying to live in an antiracist way in a world that doesn't always support that effort. You are pulled in too many directions, and it can be hard to find your balance.
