Hello! I'm a queer clinical psychologist who specializes in working with the LGBTQ+ community and treating Eating disorders, OCD, Anxiety Disorders, and Mind-body and Health psychology-related concerns. Given that our identities shape all of our life experiences, I strive to understand clients’ cultural backgrounds and integrate this into the therapeutic process. If you are struggling with navigating minority stress, gender and/or sexual identity development, anxiety, disordered eating, negative body image, or OCD and your mental health is not where you want it to be, you are not alone and I am here to help.

I believe therapy is most helpful when it combines introspection and self-discovery with planning and action. My goal as a therapist is to assist my client in exploring the "stuff" that seems to be getting in the way in his or her life. Once we know what the roadblocks are, they become easier to navigate or overcome. This work often leads to new personal insights or changes that serve to bring you closer to your personal goals.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. You deserve a life worth living! Whether you are a parent looking for a therapist to work with your child/teenager or an adult struggling to find their purpose in life, you have the ability to become the best version of yourself. As your therapist, I would help you discover your strengths & develop a confidence in your abilities to better understand your emotions and make life more meaningful.

As a trauma-informed clinician, I can help with a range of issues from depression, anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders and many more mental health issues. My goal is to help individuals clarify and reach their own goals to be their best selves.

What would your life be like if you woke up tomorrow and everything was just how you wanted it to be? What would be different? Therapy can help you identify and reach those goals. Whether your focus is individual, with your partner, or with a family member, the process can be beneficial and effective. My job is to help guide you through the choices, decisions, and communication patterns that are stopping you from making those improvements or changes. Therapy does not have to be intimidating or anxiety provoking. It can instead be an interactive, thought-provoking, learning experience. I am glad to partner with you on this journey.

I understand that each person has unique life experiences that have led them to where they are today. My goal is to create a collaborative environment (with you) that supports your unique path towards your personal well-being. I have experience working with young adults, women, and folx with marginalized identities based on race/ethnicity, size, sexual orientation, religion, income and/or dis/ability .

Sometimes all it takes is one person validating your humanity for change to occur. By providing you with external validation, we can tap into your own source of self-validation. I will acknowledge how your context shapes your understanding of yourself and the world. We can explore parts of your identity and I will acknowledge them and their need to be healed. As your therapist, creating a safe environment is my priority because I recognize the strength it takes to begin a journey towards healing. I will not rush your process and will be there to help you find the person you want to be.
