Psychotherapy is a unique endeavor, as it provides opportunities for rich self-exploration and meaning-making. Life, without question, presents sublime bliss and considerable challenge for all of us, albeit in different ways. In my work as a psychologist, I endeavor to support people, from diverse backgrounds, cultivate more authenticity, autonomy, and emotional wellness and fortitude. I deeply believe in human potential and the inherent worthiness of all people. An ideal client has an interest in symptom reduction and internal change. A generalist by training, a unifying theme throughout my work with people is vibrant connection.

Taking the first step to get help can be a very tough decision. Many people who consider starting therapy may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, ashamed, or hopeless. My practice focuses on helping those who have experienced trauma heal in a safe, secure, compassionate, and supportive environment. I use evidenced-based and evidence-informed practices that have been known to help others, like you, experience relief from the effects of trauma. My goal as your therapist is to understand, nurture, and leverage your innate strengths and resources in the healing process and restore balance to your system.

My treatment style is based on determining cognitive, emotional, and social factors that could be impacting the client’s life. I am mindful that each client is unique and has its own essence. Consequently, as a team, we identify the goals and expectations of psychological treatment to find solutions for the circumstances that the client is experiencing. During the course of the treatment, I give clients strategies that could help them overcome different obstacles and recover hope in life.

Many of my clients come to me feeling like anxious thoughts have them feeling run down, burned out, and out of control. Some clients have strained relationships with their primary caregiver(s) and struggle with feeling a sense of purpose and value in their lives. Others are coming to see me because their parent or caregiver is searching for ways to support them through the challenges of adolescence, and they stumbled upon my page.

Children, adolescents, and parents experience unique joys and challenges. When children are feeling big emotions, it can sometimes look like anxiety, depression, physical aggression, and defiance. Adolescents are navigating their identities and social relationships. Parents are trying to balance their own needs with those of their families.

I provide a safe space that empowers clients to utilize their unique strengths, and I am LGBTQ+ affirming.
