Message to clients

The most important part of working towards your mental health wellness goals is to have a positive therapeutic relationship with your psychologist, which includes being respected, validated, and understood. I work in a collaborative manner with clients to create a safe space as you embark on your journey towards improved mental health. I very much enjoy working with clients who are open to increasing insight and making positive changes to promote personal growth.

I treat adults ages 21+ with a wide range of issues, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, grief, identity development, ADHD, relationship problems, cultural issues, and chronic health difficulties. I am trained as a generalist and have an eclectic approach to therapy with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices. I use various therapeutic approaches to individualize treatment for each client and their unique goals. I work with clients to help them understand the nuanced connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as well as integrating experiential skill use in therapy sessions.
