I genuinely care about my clients and firmly believe in each person's capacity to bring about positive transformation in their lives. Every individual carries a unique narrative, encompassing both the uplifting and challenging moments. Many of those I work with are eager to comprehend their actions, enhance their relationships, and develop effective coping mechanisms for life's challenges. Just as a laborer needs tools for their trade, we too require a well-equipped toolbox to navigate our journey.

The highs and lows of life are normal and we all feel it, but at times we need extra support and space, and that is okay!

Through deconstructing unhelpful beliefs, utilizing art and play to aid in emotional expression and increasing self-compassion, my hope is to find unique ways to support your or you child's journey to better mental health.

In many ways, our culture has designed an environment where perfectionism, anxiety, and depression are normalized, and a strong sense of self is lost. The individuals I work with are curious about who they really are as a whole human, and are open to exploring the perfectionism that has guided them. Other clients may have narcissistic or antisocial personality traits and a desire to identify and understand behaviors that may be hindering them. My commitment to the individuals I serve is to foster an environment that is free of shame and judgment, where they can finally explore their most authentic self.

Our life journeys are unique to us all. New experiences are awaiting us in every new direction we take; I believe that there is never a wrong path. I base my therapeutic approach on the belief that we all are good at heart, worthy, and capable of making the right choices for ourselves.

Therapy is not only for times of crises and hitting "rock bottom." It is a space for self-exploration, reflection, and intention setting. I recognize that seeking therapy and professional support can be intimidating. I support folks in overcoming stuckness, and ambivalence, disrupting internalized toxic and limiting beliefs, and finding their voice and confidence through spiritual and ancestral healing and practices to encourage optimal changes in the mind, community, body, and spirit.

Forensic Psychology Therapists
How does forensic psychology work?
Forensic psychology works by providing those in the legal system with expert information about psychology and behavior that they wouldn’t otherwise have. Forensic psychologists do this through a range of services—conducting psychological assessments for court cases, assisting police officers with investigations, providing expert opinion, helping with mediation, and providing mental health care to victims or perpetrators of crimes.
Can a forensic psychologist help with child custody cases?
Yes. In the event that it’s needed, an attorney or judge may appoint a forensic psychologist to provide an assessment and recommendation. This process involves multiple interviews with the child, the parent (or parents), and sometimes others. The psychologist assesses the parent’s mental health, strengths and weaknesses, and parenting practices to understand what’s in the child’s best interest. They then complete a report with recommendations based on their assessment.
Do forensic psychologists help solve crimes?
In some cases they do. For example, criminal profiling involves collaborating with law enforcement officers to construct a profile of a perpetrator based on psychology, personality, and behavior as suggested by the crime in order to focus the investigation. They may also offer expert input on subjects related to a case such as deception, false confessions, and the reliability of testimony based on eyewitness accounts.
How long do people typically work with a forensic psychologist?
The length of time an individual works with a forensic psychologist depends on the relevant service. For example, if a forensic psychologist is conducting a psychological assessment for a court case, this may take one to two sessions to complete (although they can be more extensive). If the forensic psychologist is providing therapy to someone accused or convicted of a crime, treatment may last for several months or more.
