I’m an experienced clinical psychologist specializing in trauma, anxiety, sex therapy, ADHD, and skills to help you move beyond surviving to start living with intention. My approach is collaborative, compassionately direct, and grounded in the belief that you are not broken. You’re adapting—and you don’t need to be “fixed” to experience peace, pleasure, and clarity. Whether it's the invisible weight of trauma, depression that won’t ease, or relationships that leave you feeling drained, effective change is possible. If you're ready to begin, I’d be honored to walk alongside you, whether you’re diving in or simply testing the waters.
GMS provides an array of services including therapy (e.g., anxiety, mood disorders, complex trauma, sexual concerns, and healing from oppression, etc), skill practice in the real world, and consults and workshops for organizations. GMS also provides individual EMDR as well as nationally accessible DBT skills classes. Coming Soon: The Lab Practice Simulator.
How can we best support you? Contact us for more info or to join us. GMS is ecstatic to introduce the revolutionary "Into the Matrix" real world skill application sessions to our list of services (Website to be updated). Please let us know if you are an individual or community member/organization hoping to establish services for a group. We're happy to help.

Groups
DBT Skills Class
Gray Matter has partnered with The Greenhouse Foundation (a 501c3 nonprofit) to provide DBT skills classes to address the massive hole in access to healthcare. Currently, we charge for classes based on a Pay-What-You-Can model with hopes of providing free access in the future. Because we do not provide individual therapy, classes are available nationwide. At this time, most classes are virtual. In-person classes will be made available to the public as we grow. Currently, they are only available when coordinated with a community-based organization.
