“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

James Baldwin

As a psychologist, I have expertise in the treatment of mood, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. I use an integrative approach that is, overall, person-centered, radically genuine, and intersectional (e.g., explore how your race, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, age, etc. impact your current issues).

I challenge you to be the most values driven version of yourself through empathetic listening, warmth, and authenticity. I model expressing yourself in a genuine way by laughing with you, and even shedding a tear with you. I will assign you work outside of session to guide you toward your goals while also being willing to adjust plans as needed. This is a safe, open, and complicated space meant to engender reflection and growth.

Due to scheduling, therapy clients will be brought into the practice on a case-by-case basis. Typically, before starting therapy, we complete a 15 to 20 min. consultation call to determine fit.

If I, you, or we decide that I am not the best fit for your current needs, I will provide you with some trusted referrals.
