I am a licensed clinical psychologist well-trained in evidence-based principles and practices. I primarily utilize cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based therapies to build treatments tailored to each person's needs. I am a Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner. I am also an expert in the provisioning of gender-affirming care. I also specialize in working with trans and gender-diverse and LGBQA+ clients, as well as clients who identify as neurodivergent.
My primary goal is to help people feel effective in managing their mental health and building a life congruent with their values and goals. People come to me because they are feeling stuck and want a therapy that is active and brings about change in their daily lives and their functioning. They are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or personality patterns that are not serving them. I assist people in clearly defining their mental health problems and applying effective treatments.
I help clients develop a clear idea of what to practice between sessions in order to meet therapy goals and grow beyond identified problems. I am very transparent in my practice, and believe there should not be any mysteries in your therapy. It is a collaborative process that we build together.
