As a clinician who identifies as queer and neurodivergent, I am particularly committed to fostering an atmosphere grounded in authenticity, empowerment, trust, and empathy. Understanding that connection and belonging are essential for healing and growth, my approach to therapy is relational and strengths-based, guided by a trauma-informed lens.
My goal is to create a non-judgmental, open environment where clients feel comfortable being their true selves and sharing their stories. By embracing your unique experiences and strengths, we will work on empowering you to enhance your overall well-being. I serve ages 5-25.
I have several years of training and experience in working with children, adolescents, and young adults through individual, family, and group therapy. Additionally, as a clinical psychologist, I have extensive training and experience in conducting comprehensive psychological evaluations with children and adolescents.
