Medicare Clinical Psychologist Provider

Secure messaging available

Telehealth available

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience working as a trauma therapist in non-profit and public mental health settings, with adults and adolescents from multiple cultural backgrounds.

I believe in the power of connection for healing, and that a psychologist�s role is to journey alongside clients as a guide and facilitator, as they navigate their pathway to healing.

My approach in psychotherapy is interpersonal and relational: to journey alongside others, with curiosity and compassion, with the goal of creating a �safe enough� space for self-exploration and reflection.

I work in a way that attempts to integrate all aspects of emotional and psychological experience, with an understanding that the body remembers and thus needs to be integrated into therapeutic approaches. I work using knowledge of interpersonal neurobiology and trauma-focused therapy approaches (CBT, ACT, mindfulness, somatic therapies, IFS-informed therapy and EMDR).
