I am an ally of the bipoc and lgbtqia+ communities and offer more than a decade of experience working with a diverse range of ages, cultures, and concerns. My experience includes supporting: women managing developmental concerns from adolescence through menopause; those undergoing the transgender process; those dealing with family conflict (lack of parental support, divorce); or older adults feeling discarded and isolated, to name a few. To all, I offer a therapeutic alliance rooted in compassion, authenticity, and nonjudgement in support of your work toward healing, resolution, and positive change.

Is your child struggling emotionally or academically with school? Appear angry, dysregulated and overwhelmed at home? Do they get weepy or irritable on Sunday nights or after a school break?

The Yale Psychology Department Clinic (YPDC), formerly named the Yale Center for Anxiety and Mood Disorders (YCAMD), has operated as the primary departmental clinic for over 20 years. Advanced doctoral students in clinical psychology provide evidence-based assessment and psychotherapy under the supervision of licensed clinical psychologists. Individual, group, couples, and family approaches to treatment are offered from a cognitive behavioral theoretical orientation. Therapy tends to be brief and problem focused, and the fees are determined on a sliding scale. We also offer a variety of mental health skills groups.

Are you attempting to manage feelings that have been building up over time? You may be living with anxiety and depression, generally feeling stuck, and/or are trying to manage the personalities of people around you. Perhaps you aren’t quite sure how to talk about what’s happening; but something doesn’t feel right—things just feel off. During times like this, talking to a professional can help. I work with young adults, parents, college and graduate students including international students. I have niche specialized experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees.

Hola! If you are looking for a psychotherapist who is empathetic, open-minded, occasionally funny, and most importantly someone who will push you take the driver's seat in your own treatment, then I'm the therapist for you.

I practice therapy because I believe in the human capacity for liberation and healing, and our ability to empower each other and collectively improve our lives. I don't know what living a life that you love and value would look like for you, but I'm excited to find out together. I primarily work with people with serious trauma histories. I’m especially experienced in working with LGBTQIA+ folks, and with the kink and poly/ENM communities. I know how important it is to not only be affirmed in your identities, but understood as someone connected to the larger world.

Starting the therapeutic process can feel overwhelming & daunting. Finding the right fit takes time and effort, with the possibility of disappointment. With so much uncertainty the process can feel frustrating & hopeless ,but taking the first step to meet with a clinician to have a conversation and get a sense of their personality and clinical style can alleviate the anxiety behind the unknown & endless "what if " questions you may have. Some issues I have been able to help clients with are: relationship problems, anxiety, grief, depression, life transitions, developing healthy coping strategies, & overcoming past trauma(s).

My ideology regarding an approach to therapy is utilizing the helping profession like a GPS. The client is the one who is in the drivers seat, I as a therapist will navigate the client to their desired destination, making this journey as safe as possible. Working on this navigation process, the therapeutic relationship will focus on exploring yourself, unfolding your story and reaching self growth. I do not only work on managing/alleviating symptoms which can only be a temporary relief, I also work on analyzing whats beneath the surface.
