Great to meet you!

I'm currently accepting new clients. Please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation if I feel like a good fit (My Direct Website is: https://www.amatterofpsychology.com/contact).

I see therapy as time dedicated to unpacking your thoughts and feelings. It's also a space to process past experiences that may have been confusing or painful. I believe it's crucial to have a trusting therapeutic relationship where you are genuinely seen and valued, allowing space for all your identities to be acknowledged and validated.

My approach to therapy

My clinical foundation is psychodynamic, relational, cognitive behavioral, and culturally attuned. I have particular experience working with LGBT+ identified folks and I'm proud to provide LGBT+ affirming therapy. I also specialize in anxiety, college students, high functioning professionals, and interpersonal/relationship concerns,.

What you can expect from me

I will work to help you identify certain thoughts or behaviors that may not be serving you anymore; and find opportunities for change. I often find it's helpful to discuss unresolved conflicts, early life experiences, and deeper emotions. I believe that gaining insight into these leads to meaningful and lasting change.
