Whether you are working through a difficult period or struggling to manage deeply embedded patterns, therapy can provide consistent, personalized support that will make all the difference. At your pace, we will explore and broaden your perspectives, clarify and empower your emotional expression, and remove barriers to better mental health and deeper relational intimacy. Very often, this involves the exploration of familial dynamics and relational patterns, which are often littered with events and perceptions that evoke anxiety and avoidance. I provide a warm and non-judgmental space where you may confront, accept, and more comprehensively integrate disavowed or compartmentalized aspects of yourself. The path to change begins with sharing your unique experiences, and our work together will move you toward greater happiness and internal harmony.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over thirteen years of experience providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I treat a broad range of clinical complaints and embrace the complexities unique to people of different races, cultures, genders, sexualities, politics, etc. While my orientation is primarily relational and psychodynamic, where applicable, I employ a variety of interventions from other evidence-based modalities. My clinical sensibility has developed in various settings, including schools, community health centers, private practices, inpatient units, and prisons. These invaluable experiences have informed my appreciation and understanding of the intricacies and functioning of the human mind. This work is always reflective and collaborative, often emotional and spiritual, and sprinkled with humor and triumph.
I work with people of all ages, and I specialize in working with adolescents (16+) and adults with the following conditions: anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, borderline personality disorder and emotion regulation deficits, addiction and compulsive behavior, social anxiety/interpersonal skills deficits, race-related stress, conflict in one’s experience of gender and/or sexuality, academic and career challenges, imposter phenomenon, grief/loss, overthinking/intrusive thoughts, and most personality disorders.
