Are you feeling overwhelmed by chronic pain, navigating your gender identity, seeking deeper intimacy in your relationships, or struggling to heal from family conflict or trauma? Life’s challenges can feel isolating, but you don’t have to face them alone. I provide a supportive, affirming space to help you explore, heal, and thrive.
I specialize in working with individuals who are managing the physical and emotional toll of chronic pain, those within the transgender and nonbinary communities, individuals and couples looking to enhance their sexual well-being, and anyone healing from developmental trauma or family discord.
As a clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience, my approach is eclectic, utilizing evidence-based therapies including Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, and DBT skills. I’ll help you retrain pain pathways, process trauma, and build emotional resilience to reconnect with your authentic self.
My approach to treatment is warm, compassionate, collaborative and client focused. I highly respect individuals from all religious, cultural & ethnoracial backgrounds, and strive to provide treatment that is in accordance with your values system. I am also happy to coordinate with your other healthcare providers as needed.
