We sometimes find ourselves struggling in life. Psychotherapy can be a great opportunity to examine where we are, how we got there, and where we want to go from here. I work collaboratively with clients to explore these questions with empathy, curiosity, and care. I am passionate about supporting clients in being their true, authentic selves, and helping them to create deeper connections with the people in their lives. I value the diverse identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences that each client brings. I aim to meet clients where they are at to uncover the right goals for them.
I am a psychology professor specializing in motivating behavior change (small and big changes) and promoting well-being and thriving. I am particularly passionate in my research and clinical work about supporting people with marginalized identities, especially LGBTQAI+ individuals, and am committed to antiracism, cultural humility, and inclusion.
I would be honored to support you in making meaningful changes in your life, and help you get more in touch with your authentic inner voice. If this feels like a good fit for you, feel free to reach out to me to set up an initial consultation.
