About

Everyone wants to be themselves, to be “seen,” and to be valued for their uniqueness. We’re wired to need safe and affirming relationships and connections. When we’re struggling, it’s usually because something has gotten in the way — not because we’re somehow “defective” or “flawed.” I value authenticity, and strive to help clients feel and honor emotions that may seem “wrong” or unacceptable. I’ve worked extensively with college students, survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence, adults with ADHD and autism, couples, and individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness. I’m a licensed psychologist who began my career as a social worker, and see myself not only as a therapist, but also an advocate.
