Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist. My approach to therapy is adaptable and largely dependent on the client's needs. I believe strongly in the mind-body connection and I enjoy discovering unique approaches to mindfulness that are best suited to each individual client.

I have experience treating clients of all ages. I have experience treating mood disorders, PTSD, gender transition, families, sleep issues, Autism, anger issues, men's issues, career counseling, life transitions, addiction, and grief. I am certified in Psychedelic Assisted therapy. I provide psychedelic integration sessions for clients following treatments.

I have an open, casual style to help clients feel at ease and open to letting me hold space for them. I am intuitive about matching my energy to the client's. We could be laughing one minute and crying the next. Sometimes you want to vent, sometimes you want to problem solve, and I am here to support you

My approach to therapy

In my practice, I use a variety of approaches based on applied behavior analysis and cognitive behavior therapy. I frequently employ techniques from REBT, somatic psychology, and non-western modalities. I am passionate about DBT and ACT and I strive to help clients develop the skills they are seeking to help them live their best lives.

What you can expect from me

My goal in the first session is to build a trusting relationship with the person I am serving. I want to learn about them and through the intake process, help them create their roadmap of where they are, where they want to be, and how we are going to get there. In a therapist-client relationship, it is important to me that we walk the road towards better mental health, together.
