Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Avrille, a licensed Clinical Psychologist in California, and welcome to my page! I have been in private practice for six years, specializing in neurodivergence, working with members of the LGBTIQ+ community, and generally helping people untangle their knots so they can live their best lives.

My approach to therapy

In session, I strive to create a warm, chatty, and even sometimes a humorous vibe. I work with a few theoretical lenses, but before any theory, I focus on your goals and what feels most meaningful to you.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, I ask many questions about your history, what brings you to therapy, and how I can be of help to you. I'll review the administrative bits and carve-out time for you to ask questions to your heart's content.
