Introduction

I am licensed psychologist with over decade of clinical experience, including the provision of brief and long-term psychotherapy to adults and couples. I have a strong clinical background and interest in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. I enjoy working with issues related to gender and sexual identity, loneliness, dysfunctional relationship patterns, challenges related to life transitions, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum issues, and bi/multicultural identity issues. I believe that a safe, authentic, and trusting therapeutic relationship plays a key role in the healing, learning, and growing process. My approach to therapy is relational, collaborative, active, and nonjudgmental. I value transparency and flexibility and encourage open and direct feedback from clients.
