Hi! I'm Dr G, a Clinical Psychologist who works with young adults, parents, postpartum/pregnant women, undergrad/graduate students, recent grads, and high achievers. I have a passion and years of experience doing therapy with BIPOC, first generation, immigrant, neurodiverse, and LGBTQ+ folx. I have studied and worked at several universities including UCLA, UC Berkeley, and St Edward's University in Austin. I use empirically-supported techniques (e.g., CBT, trauma-focused, culturally-informed care) for issues like anxiety, depression, loneliness, existential angst, life transitions, and navigating all types of relationships.
I work to build trust with clients in order to form a collaborative relationship that aims to grow self-awareness while building tools that actually make a difference. The approach I use is grounded in science-backed techniques (not trendy "therapies”), empathy, and a multicultural perspective that honors how identities/social contexts shape our experiences.
I know life might feel overwhelming right now...maybe you've tried other therapists that just didn't "get it" or get you or "just sat there." Let's really shake things up. Give me a call with any questions or to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we would be a good match. I am available for telehealth appointments across Texas.
