Finding a therapist can feel daunting, and I admire the energy and courage it takes to seek support.

I am a licensed psychologist providing multi-culturally sensitive therapy for young adults struggling with early trauma, perfectionism and self-criticism, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, body image and eating concerns, anxiety, depression, and more. I provide a warm, open, accepting space, knowing that you need to feel safe and understood before you can experiment with change and growth.

I like to get to know you as a whole person, together developing a nuanced understanding of your current concerns, history, identities, strengths, and struggles. I also focus on helping you develop a more authentic, integrated, and honest self. I believe that the less energy we spend trying to deny, hide, avoid, or change painful aspects of ourselves and our experiences, the more energy we have to pursue what brings meaning and fulfillment to our lives.

I deeply value diversity and am trained to provide multiculturally-competent counseling. I’m interested in understanding how your racial/ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, religious, dis/ability, class, and other identities have shaped your life. I welcome clients of color and clients of all genders and sexual orientations, and aim to create a space in which it is safe to explore parts of your identity that have been marginalized, oppressed, or traumatized.

Therapy can seem full of mystery or stigma, and my hope is to reduce both. If you think we might work well together, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would welcome the opportunity to learn about you and your needs, answer any questions, and decide together if we might be a good fit.
