Life can be difficult, but psychotherapy can help navigate challenging times. As a clinical psychologist, I combine evidence-based approaches to psychological assessment and treatments to help individuals across the lifespan manage their difficult symptoms and overcome life’s obstacles. Collaboratively, we will develop a strong therapeutic relationship, and you will learn skills to manage psychological symptoms while being afforded an open, inviting space to explore life’s challenges. I believe in treating clients with warmth, empathy, and respect, and together we will engage in work to help you reach your best self.

I draw from different therapeutic modalities and techniques, primarily using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in addition to other evidence-based treatments and methods, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Treatment (DBT), psychodynamic approaches, among others. I also have extensive experience in psychological testing and assessment. I attempt to use an integrated approach between assessment and psychotherapy to meet your needs. In my work, I seek to explore how varying systems influence psychological functioning. For example, I believe treatments work best when clinicians take into account those factors that influence symptoms prior to the first session, and the real-life factors that influence clients when they leave every psychotherapy session (e.g., social support, stigma, sociocultural stress, etc.).

Clinically, I have extensive experience with working with children, adolescents, families, emerging adults, and adults across the lifespan and experience treating a variety of disorders (depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, disruptive behavior disorders, ADHD, substance use, panic attacks, etc.). I have worked with diverse populations in various settings (inpatient hospitals, outpatient hospitals, university settings, homeless shelters, schools, etc.).
