My website
Welcome! (Waitlisted untiI October). I work exclusively with law students & early-career attorneys, graduate students, and early-career professionals. Treatment expertise includes depressive and anxiety symptoms, relationship transitions, occupational or academic stress, and other adjustment issues. I welcome and serve clients across all genders, identities, and backgrounds.
I am guided by DBT (i.e. mindfulness; distress tolerance; emotion regulation; and interpersonal effectiveness) and CBT school of thought (i.e. how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are influenced by each other).
I celebrate you for considering therapy, and myself, as a way to support you in your journey. For clients who are self-pay or utilizing superbills, or for clinicians seeking clinical supervision towards licensure, please click "Email Me" for scheduling.
