Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed psychologist based in California with a background working as a staff psychologist at university counseling centers, including UC Irvine, the University of Florida, and Oklahoma State. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients and have dedicated my career to creating affirming, identity-conscious care. I see clients exclusively via telehealth and am currently accepting a small number of new clients, if you're looking for a thoughtful, low-key space to do real work, I'd love to connect.

My approach to therapy

My work is grounded in LGBTQ+-affirming care. I meet clients where they are and build from there, without assumptions about what their experience should look like. I draw on years of supporting people through identity, relationships, mental health, and life transitions in university settings. My style is collaborative and warm; I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is really just a conversation. I want to hear what's bringing you in and what you're hoping therapy can do for you. There's no pressure to have it all figured out; you can share as much or as little as feels right. By the end, my goal is for you to feel genuinely heard and have a clear sense of what working together could look like.
