I am a Clinical Psychologist who specializes in working with teens, young adults, and adults, particularly around issues of life transitions, identity, values, and meaning. I have expertise in LGBTQ+ issues, depression and anxiety, trauma, OCD, and communication issues. I will never judge you for your darkness and will reflect your light back at you until you see it. I am passionate about helping you understand what is going on inside your brain so you don’t think you are broken. However, I believe you are the expert on your own life and we will work together to figure out what approach to therapy will meet your needs.

I believe therapy is an opportunity to grow and transform psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It provides a safe and supportive environment where clients can process their experiences at their own pace. I am dedicated to educating and empowering others to make real and sustainable changes that will produce a lasting and positive impact on their lives. Together, we will develop goals that can help to remove barriers that are preventing the client from being the version of themselves they want to be. Through this collaborative process, clients can learn how to take on more challenging aspects of their lives.

Therapy is about what works for you. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental, and confidential space to explore and shift away from maladaptive thoughts and patterns. I work relationally with individuals to foster self satisfaction, further self understanding and appreciation, and restore the self. A comfortable patient and therapist relationship is key to successful and meaningful therapy. I view the client as the expert on his or her own experience. I aim to create a safe space in order to expand awareness of that experience, integrate aspects that may have been excluded from awareness, and integrate new experience and meanings.
