Children, families and adults are very special to me. Children ages 0-10, pre-teens, teens, college students and adults of all ages. Parent/Giuardian involvement, both father and mother, is mandatory when working with children. I have extensive training and experience in trauma treatment, family therapy, ADHD assessment and treatment and anxiety. My areas of specialization include depression; anxiety; trauma issues including rape, incest and childhood/adult emotional, physical and sexual abuse, neglect and poverty; grief and loss; and life adjustment.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I practice cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). My expertise is in the treatment of anxiety disorders in children and adults, including posttraumatic stress disorder. I value the science of clinical psychology, and my treatment recommendations to you will be focused around those approaches that have demonstrated efficacy in research studies for the problems you are experiencing. We will also work together to carefully monitor your progress in treatment and make adjustments to our plan as needed.

While there is no such thing as an ideal client, I deeply enjoy working with individuals who enjoy exploring the complexities of human existence and how their previous experiences have shaped their present day lives. I enjoy working with those who strive to improve their day to day functioning through self reflection, introspection and commitment to continual personal and emotional growth.

I specialize in treatment with the LGTBQIA+ population, trauma, anxiety, depression, sports/performance anxiety, and chronic illness. I like to use an empathetic, anti-oppressive, client-centered approach to support clients toward their own identified goals. As a member of the queer community, my goal is to create a safe and affirming space for people of all sexualities, relationship types, and gender identities. I am also a former collegiate athlete, and my experience with this has allowed me to provide support to student athletes.

My practice is grounded in a humanistic and client-centered approach, which means that you, as the individual, are at the heart of our therapeutic work. I specialize in addressing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, gender identity exploration, queer-related issues, and the impact of race trauma. I understand that each person's experience is unique, and I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where your voice is heard and valued. In our work together, we'll focus on processing your thoughts and emotions, helping you gain clarity and understanding.

Many people who I work with are trying to manage feelings of stress and fear or sadness. Others are struggling with sexual identity or gender and still others are seeking support in managing their identities. Everyone is searching for relief from the pain and frustration. We can work together to find the solutions and improve your life!

Are you struggling in life? Feeling anxious, depressed, and disconnected from yourself or others? If so, you’re in the right place. Everybody has a story, and understanding each persons story and how they came to be is an integral part of helping and serving others. My goal as your therapist is to help you heal from any trauma, anxiousness, or depressive symptoms that interfere with daily life. This is done by learning better coping skills, creating new thought patterns, and identifying and changing behaviors that no longer serve your highest purpose in life, thus allowing you to feel centered and fulfilled in all areas of life.

Est. in 2018, LGBTQ+ owned and operated, and here to provide affordable care for you. Our team of licensed clinicians is 100% on your team.

Do you struggle with relationships? Maybe it’s with a significant other, a friend, or even a family member? Have you ever felt like things just don’t seem to go your way? Or felt like you have lost answers to a changing relationship? I have helped many clients find peace and acceptance in these turbulent times. I have come to find that, many times, we just need a space to process our lives in a genuine and safe way. In my practice I have strived to create that space. I have been lucky enough to help many clients find that long-overdue feeling of clarity and peace.

Life is hard and we all encounter many struggles. It is also an opportunity for positive change to occur through careful examination of patterns and experiences that may have affected you. I believe that one of the most important parts of therapy is that the client and clinician are a good “fit”. The best work is able to be produced when this connection is made.
