Great to meet you!

Therapy is a collaborative approach, where I am warm, empathic, curious, and nonjudgmental and help you create and live a life you find fulfilling. My doctoral training and years of delivering psychotherapy as a clinical psychologist have provided me with extensive experience helping adults and adolescents with a wide variety of life issues.

My approach to therapy

My integrative approach is well-suited for addressing interpersonal and multicultural issues. I work from a social justice-oriented and trauma-informed lens to provide you with culturally competent treatment.

What you can expect from me

I generally create a space where you feel safe and comfortable to share and challenge yourself. Goals are set at the beginning of our work and guide our sessions. Homework may occasionally be given if it helps you become closer to the person you want to be and is aligned with your overall goals.
