I'm a licensed psychologist (LP) and owner of the Center for Psychological Growth and Resilience (CPGR). I have over ten years of extensive experience working with adults and adolescents with severe and complex mental and physical illnesses across various levels of care, spanning from inpatient care units to outpatient individual therapy. My mission is to help shape a healthier, more just world by providing high-quality, inclusive, empathy-driven, science-based therapy services. My approach stems from the belief that all humans have innate value, worth, and the potential to surmount stress and strain. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, knowing that you are the expert on yourself. We’ll work together to examine the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence your overall wellness, and I'll use empathy, authenticity, a non-judgmental stance, and science-driven interventions to help you unlock and harness your internal resilience. Therapy can be a confusing and scary endeavor, and I take seriously the fact that you're putting your trust in me. I have immediate openings and endeavor to respond within 24 hours.
