Do you sometimes feel like your emotions get the best of you, getting in the way of doing what is most important to you? Or do you have difficulty feeling or expressing emotions and communicating how you feel to other people? I help clients develop wise mind - the integration of emotions and intuition with reasoning and logic. I love to work with dreamers, people with the passion and purpose to remake our society. I am a good fit if you are a person who seeks out therapy because you understand that justice in the world begins with healing ourselves from the inside out.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I specialize in the intersection between trauma, mental health, and physical health. I use evidence-based approaches (cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT) that research shows are most likely to be effective, but I also believe that authentic relationships are as important as technique.
Some clients have specific goals for therapy and find that time-limited, problem-focused therapy is best for them. Others seek to a develop a longer-term relationship and participate in therapy as part of ongoing self-care. Book a free, 15-minute initial consultation through my website to find what works for you.
