About My Clients
I support adults across two core areas: relationally-oriented psychotherapy and specialized, non-pathologizing evaluations. In therapy, I help clients navigate depression, complex trauma, and life transitions. In evaluations, I provide adult Autism assessments, gender-affirming surgery letters, and N-648 citizenship waivers. My practice prioritizes marginalized communities, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and immigrant populations seeking affirming care without systemic gatekeeping.
My Background and Approach
I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and bring over 12 years of experience. My practice bridges exploratory psychodynamic therapy with structured, objective evaluations. In therapy, I use a relational approach to understand how past patterns shape your present. I am dynamic and interactive, offering honest feedback and active collaboration to help you live with greater agency. In evaluations, my goal is diagnostic clarity and efficient documentation without pathologizing your experience. I offer transparent flat-fee pricing for single-session evaluations ($250 for gender surgery letters and $1,200 for N-648 waivers). My practice operates exclusively via secure telehealth. I am in-network with Aetna and handle automated out-of-network claim submissions for all other insurance plans to keep care accessible.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Mental health does not exist in a vacuum. My work is rooted in a feminist and cultural lens that explicitly accounts for how systemic oppression, social prejudice, and institutional barriers impact well-being. Through my own cultural identifiers and clinical background, I am dedicated to providing care that centers BIPOC, immigrant, and queer communities. I am also deeply committed to a neurodiversity-affirming framework. Differences in cognitive, sensory, or interpersonal processing are not deficits to be fixed. Whether we are unlearning internalized stigma in therapy or seeking formal diagnostic clarity through an assessment, my goal is to support your liberation, agency, and self-advocacy in a world built for conformity.
