- Work best with: Teens, Adults, Older Adults, LGBTQ+ Community, Veterans, First Responders
- Appointments: Both in-person and telehealth
- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
My therapy style is collaborative, affirming, and deeply patient-centered. I strive to be a steady, compassionate presence-a soft place to land-while also making room for humor and genuine human connection in the healing process. Patients can expect a space rooted in respect, affirmation, and care for all.
Patients have described the therapeutic process as supportive, collaborative, and emotionally safe. They felt genuinely heard and respected, often for the first time in a clinical relationship. Patients have reported that sessions provided a consistent, non-judgmental space to explore difficult emotions, patterns, and experiences at a manageable pace.
