I believe psychotherapy works when the relationship is genuine and real. What makes it feel safe isn’t that the therapist holds back or doesn't experience judgment, it’s that the relationship itself is prioritized; it is rooted in connection, authenticity, humility, and compassion. I also think that dynamic shouldn't be unique to therapy; it's not some sacred space. That’s what healthy relationships should look like, period. I take a relational, insight-oriented, and engaged approach. You won’t get a blank slate—you’ll get someone who’s willing to sit with you, challenge you compassionately, and promote your health and well-being.

As a BIPOC psychologist with a multicultural background, I bring a thoughtful observational lens to my work with diverse populations. I am especially drawn to working with middle school, high school, college-aged individuals, and adults navigating transitions and trying to better understand their brain style and executive functioning. As someone who has also struggled with schooling, I recognize how home environment, learning styles, cognitive abilities, and emotional regulation shape executive functioning. These factors influence how we learn, form relationships, and engage with the world.

Many people come to therapy with a sense that something isn’t quite right—emotionally, relationally, or internally—even if they are functioning well on the surface. Often, they reach out after trying to manage things on their own or after previous treatment has not led to lasting change. You may be managing work, family, or relationships while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that don’t fully make sense.

I support adults navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and ADHD. You might find yourself overthinking, second-guessing decisions, or stuck in patterns that feel hard to break. Sometimes, there’s just a sense that something isn’t quite right, even when life looks fine on the outside. You may want deeper, more fulfilling relationships, but notice yourself holding back, shutting down, or creating distance. ADHD can add another layer of complexity, affecting not only daily life but also how you understand and relate to yourself.

I offer psychological evaluation services as well as therapy services.
Modern life presents a number of challenges for adults and families. It can be difficult to balance all of the conflicting demands, especially if we are also trying to care for others or carrying the weight of past traumas or other unresolved issues. This can lead to increasing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger, and can interfere with the relationships we value and need. None of us are perfect, but we all deserve the chance to live a life consistent with our values and goals.

Testing and Evaluation Therapists
What is a psychological evaluation?
A psychological evaluation is a test or assessment most commonly administered by a trained psychologist that is intended to be used in the diagnosis of specific psychological conditions, such as ADHD, mood disorders, personality disorders, dementia or Alzheimer's, and learning disabilities. Psychological evaluations can help inform future treatment decisions and help direct clients to professionals and resources that may be most helpful, such as potential therapy options or additional school supports.
Can psychological evaluations be done on individuals of any age group?
Psychological evaluations are conducted on individuals of all ages and can be beneficial to individuals across the lifespan. However, specific types of evaluations may be most frequently conducted on individuals of certain age groups. For instance, ADHD or learning disability testing is often conducted in children ages 4-12--the period of time when ADHD symptoms most commonly emerge. In contrast, cognitive functioning assessments, such as those conducted to diagnose dementia, are most commonly conducted in elderly individuals. Clients should ensure that the psychologist they are seeing has specific expertise in conducting evaluations in their age group to ensure they receive a correct diagnosis.
How long does a psychological evaluation take?
Psychological evaluations vary in length depending on the test being administered and the goals of the evaluation; however, most evaluations are 2-4 hours in length. Some evaluations may take as long as 8 hours but can often be spread across multiple days. In some cases, clients will also attend an intake session or interview, which can help the psychologist assess client functioning outside of the testing environment.
How should I prepare for a psychological test and evaluation?
Individuals do not need to prepare for psychological tests or evaluations in most cases, as they are intended to measure a client's baseline psychological status without test-specific preparation. However, clients may want to brainstorm a list of questions for their psychologist about any tests they are receiving prior to the assessment, including what potential outcomes may mean for what next steps the client should take.
