Are you struggling to feel fulfilled in life? Does waking up and functioning day to day seem unnecessarily difficult? Are you experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, or the lasting effects of grief or trauma? Therapy can help. I utilize and have training in a range of therapeutic modalities including Trauma Focused-CBT, DBT, EMDR, Psychodynamic therapy, Expressive Art Therapy, the Gottman method for couples, as well as EFT. I tailor unique plans for each individual client or couple in order to empower them to better understand themselves, achieve their goals and feel more fulfilled.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with experience and interest in issues around anxiety, depression, relationships, as well as aspects of identity including ethnicity, immigration, gender, and sexual orientation. Over the past eleven years, I've worked with adolescents and adults in multiple settings including university college counseling centers, community mental health, inpatient hospital settings, as well as forensic facilities. I also have extensive training in assessment, especially personality assessment, which informs my therapeutic approach. Drawing from a number of theoretical orientations within Psychology, I believe that a supportive alliance is the sine qua non for effective therapy.
