About My Clients

Clients I work with want therapy that works but don't want to be lost in the process. They want well researched treatments but want meet their goals too. That's why my practice prioritizes tailoring research backed interventions to each individual that walks through the door. Clients I work with are often dealing with life transitions, burn out, anxiety, depression, trauma, and perfectionism. My job is bring in research backed interventions so they can live their life vibrantly.

My Background and Approach

As a clinical psychologist, I have extensive training and experience tailoring research backed treatments to the unique needs of my clients. I prioritize client goals, celebrating client's unique cultural traditions, and integrating relevant diversity and contextual factors into treatment. As a queer identifying clinician, I have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and have developed and led trainings in affirming care across the country. I also have specific expertise in gender issues, where I've helped clients unlearn unhelpful myths about gender and reimagine gender roles that no longer serve them. I strongly value a holistic approach which includes paying attention to often overlooked aspects of health such as sleep and chronic pain. I work from a health-at-every size perspective to help individuals learn to appreciate and thrive in their own body. Clients who work with me describe me as compassionate, validating, and a great accountability partner.
