Psychologist, Ph.D.
Accepting clients Last Updated 2 days ago

*ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR JANUARY 2025.*

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, and together, we can explore how your past experiences have shaped who you are today. You will gain self-understanding, self-compassion, and begin to feel happier and more fulfilled.

My clients are individuals and couples with a wide variety of concerns, including relationship issues, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. I can help you navigate unwanted emotions and get you ready to cope with any difficult life circumstances that might arise in the future.

My past clients have described me as “non-judgmental, kind, and someone who calls them on their bullshit.”

I also love working with people in non-traditional relationships as well as LGBT individuals and couples. I also specialize in transgender-affirmative therapy, and have worked with trans and non-binary clients who are questioning gender, people who are in the middle of a physical and/or social transition, and individuals who are either post-transition or have made other decisions in this regard.

Even if your gender identity is not the topic you want to explore in therapy, I will provide an accepting environment where you can explore whatever you think will be most useful.

If this sounds like what you are looking for, please email me to set up a 20-minute phone conversation so we can see if we would be a good fit.
