Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with several years of experience working in clinical psychology settings, ranging from psychiatric hospitals to private practice. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, yoga and art to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself.

My approach to therapy

I utilize evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical-behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I am an expert in psychotherapy, you are an expert in yourself, and I believe you already have many of the answers inside of you.

What you can expect from me

Therapy may help you to fully experience your emotions, have a safe place to express yourself, tolerate distressing emotions, manage stress, find meaning and value in your life, practice self acceptance and self compassion, increase self awareness, and build a supportive community around you.
