About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience and proven skill set with multiple evidence based certifications. I am LGBTQ affirming, anti-racist, trauma sensitive ally with a whole-health, gender affirming approach to my care. I am Telehealth capable in most states across the nation with sliding scale fee options. It is not easy to ask for care but know you are not to blame and you are not alone. Help is available.
You may have come to a fork in the road, perhaps many times. You may wonder if it is just you that has these problems and if there is no solution. Life does not have easy solutions but with the right support it is more manageable and you may build a life worth living and optimize your potential. I am able to offer in person sessions or video, nights and weekends and with flexible payment options to include insurance and private pay with a sliding scale. With multiple certifications with specific therapy protocols from insomnia, trauma, depression, reproductive mental health, chronic pain and grief I am able to offer actionable skills to eliminate your symptoms and return you to health. I also believe in the power of the therapy relationship and can meet you where you are at. Therapy begins with an initial phone-call to establish fit and then a face to face intake to make a treatment plan.
