Understanding the whole of who you are
As a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive training and a heartfelt, compassionate approach, I work to understand the whole of who you are, creating space for healing that goes beyond symptom management and fosters meaningful, lasting change.
I specialize in trauma, grief and loss, addiction, anxiety, mood and thought disorders, anger management, and identity development. I am attuned to the diverse experiences that shape who you are, approaching you with respect, curiosity, and a deep commitment to understanding the cultural and systemic factors that influence your life.
My approach is deeply person-centered, grounded in curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique inner world. Together, we explore patterns, emotions, and experiences with care, creating space for greater self-understanding, self-connection, and growth.

INCLUSION
I care deeply about social justice and believe in the inherent dignity, worth, and rights of all people, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, or ethnicity. These values are central to my work as a therapist.
I approach psychological suffering with the understanding that our inner lives are shaped not only by personal experiences, but also by the cultural, historical, and social worlds we inhabit. Historical trauma, social inequality, and systemic oppression can leave deep imprints on how we come to understand ourselves, our relationships, and our place in the world. While therapy is deeply personal, it does not exist outside the social and political realities that influence our lives. Thoughtful therapy therefore remains attentive to these broader contexts as part of understanding psychological suffering and healing.
STORY AND METAPHOR
I have long been drawn to literature, philosophy and the arts as companions to psychological work. Stories, poetry, and metaphor often give language to experiences that can be difficult to name directly, and they can open new ways of understanding ourselves.
Throughout history, writers and artists have grappled with many of the same questions that arise in therapy—questions of identity, suffering, love, loss, and meaning. Engaging with these perspectives can sometimes illuminate aspects of our own experience that feel otherwise hard to articulate.
Language and narrative can offer powerful ways of understanding ourselves, helping us make meaning of experiences. Metaphor in particular can open new ways of seeing long-standing patterns and invite curiosity and insight.
MINDFULNESS AND SOMATIC AWARENESS
Our experiences are not only held in thoughts and emotions, but also in the body. Stress, trauma, and difficult life experiences can sometimes lead us to feel disconnected from our physical selves or to move through the world in a constant state of tension or vigilance.
Part of the therapeutic process may involve gently cultivating greater awareness of bodily sensations and learning to listen to the signals the body provides. Practices drawn from mindfulness and somatic awareness can help restore a sense of connection, allowing the body to become a source of information, grounding, and stability.
Developing this kind of awareness often helps people feel more present in their lives and more attuned to their own needs, emotions, and internal rhythms. Over time, reconnecting with the body can support greater emotional regulation, resilience, and a deeper sense of self-understanding.
MY APPROACH
My aim is to create a therapeutic space grounded in curiosity, humility, and respect, where clients feel seen in the fullness of their identity and experience.
