Some are navigating persistent thoughts of self-harm or suicidal ideation, while others are managing complex conditions like PTSD, schizophrenia, or substance use.
My approach is collaborative, culturally sensitive and LGBTQ+ affirming. I want you to know that I’m an avid learner, of ideas, stories, cultures, and perspectives. That means I will learn from you, just as you learn from me. Therapy can feel uncomfortable at times, and my role is to hold a nonjudgmental space where you can be your full, authentic self.

I help with psychosis, personality disorders, relationship challenges, trauma, and mood concerns using MERIT therapy.
You're dealing with anxiety that won't quit, depression that makes everything feel heavy, or relationship patterns that leave you feeling misunderstood. Maybe you're also experiencing voices or unusual perceptions that feel isolating, navigating systems that weren't built for you, or questioning a diagnosis that doesn't capture your full experience. Perhaps what you want is genuine understanding from someone who won't pathologize your curiosity about yourself. Your goal isn't just symptom relief, you want to explore your inner world, understand how your mind works and use this understanding to respond to everyday challenges.

However, I also have additional training in severe trauma-based dissociative disorders, personality disorders, and psychosis.
I am a psychodynamically-oriented clinical psychologist. Psychodynamic therapy emphasizes the developmental and relational origins of psychic distress. While other symptom-focused modalities may initially ameliorate suffering, positive gains can often be lost over time. With psychodynamic therapy, gains are often structural and long-lasting. Thus, psychodynamic treatment is often referred to as a "depth therapy". Due to its predominantly relational focus, the positive impact of this type of treatment is often felt throughout the most important aspects of your daily life: work, family, romance, parenting and friendships.

Psychosis Therapists
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
