Starting therapy takes courage. At NKPsych, we believe healing happens in relationships - whether we're helping your family connect better, working with your anxious teenager, or supporting you through individual challenges. We know finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, so your intake is with a clinical psychologist who takes time to understand your needs, whether that's specific expertise, a particular style, or simply someone who feels right. We work psychodynamically, believing your struggles make sense in context. We're interested in your whole story- how you became who you are and what might be keeping you stuck.
Your intake informs our ability to match you with one of our clinicians based on what you need. This might be me or one of my talented colleagues, for therapy, assessment, or both. What matters is that you feel understood by someone skilled in helping with exactly what you're facing. We work as a team to ensure you receive the best care possible.
Starting this work takes courage, and finding the right fit matters. We've built our practice to make that process less overwhelming, from your first call through finding your matched therapist. You deserve support that truly understands what you're facing. We're opening in October and currently scheduling consultations. We'd be honored to help.

I have a PsyD and am a PhD candidate in clinical social work. After an MA in Sociology and 15 years in diversity education, I became a psychologist to work with individual complexity. I founded NKPsych to create the consultation-centered, psychodynamic practice I've wanted throughout my own journey.

While we work with anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns, we're particularly drawn to clients facing recurring patterns they can't break. We help with complex trauma, identity questions, life transitions, and feeling stuck despite 'doing everything right.'

We practice psychodynamically-informed therapy, exploring how unconscious patterns and past experiences shape current struggles. Rather than just managing symptoms, we help you understand the deeper roots of your difficulties. We integrate attachment theory, contemporary relational approaches, and trauma-informed care.
