I currently have immediate openings for ADULT ADHD and ASD testing. This process involves an online diagnostic visit, an in-person day of testing at our North Campus location, and an online feedback session. We accept most major insurances, though be prepared that the process is often between $600 to $1500 AFTER the discount from your insurance. If you are interested, please fill out the form on our website to get started. At this time, I am not accepting new clients for regular therapy. We are currently developing the systems to be able to test younger clients, but currently do not have the tests or infrastructure.

Women carry more than most people ever see. Showing up, holding it together, and pushing through while quietly managing today's stress layered over old pain. We may be overfunctioning, doing too much, while appearing composed on the outside, yet privately navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, shame, and the pressure to be everything for everyone. Somehow caught between not being enough and also being too much, stuck in our pain. Our therapy work together can be a space where you do not have to perform strength or minimize your pain, and where your experience is deeply and compassionately centered.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness (cbtmindful.com). I see therapy as a space of honest exploration of who you are, what is most important to you, and what is holding you back from living a more fulfilling life. My role is to listen carefully and compassionately so that, together, we can identify patterns, especially ones that aren’t leading you to the life you want. Then, I use a creative and collaborative approach to help you make changes in how you relate to yourself, how you show up in your relationships, and how you make decisions, big and small.

I love working with college aged adults who are struggling with eating and body image challenges. This is a period of transition and identity formation for many, and I enjoy helping them explore and navigate these changes. I also enjoy working with those who hold intersecting, marginalized identities and who want a therapist who understands how their narrative and experiences in the world have shaped who they are.

With over a decade of experience as a psychologist, I am committed to helping adults and adolescents work towards better well-being. I provide a compassionate, validating environment for those struggling coping with painful circumstances (significant losses, grief, or trauma). I also help clients looking for useful strategies to manage intense emotions such as anxiety, panic, sadness, anger, or shame. I use evidence-based psychotherapies that have a proven track record for helping clients make improvements in as few sessions as possible. I value these approaches because I know clients are struggling and want to feel better.

Do you find yourself constantly overthinking or questioning whether you might have OCD? Are intrusive, worst-case scenario thoughts leaving you exhausted? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone and you have found a therapist who can help. Many of my clients come to me after trying traditional talk therapy and realizing they need a more specialized approach. I specialize in treating OCD using the gold standard Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I also work with body dysmorphia (BDD), emetophobia, and body-focused repetitive behaviors such as hair pulling/skin picking. I like to help those who are ready to target their care.
