I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with young adults, LGBTQ+ people (especially trans and non-binary), trauma, and borderline personality disorder. My clients often come from backgrounds where they feel misunderstood and invalidated. They can feel frustrated with their important relationships, or like they're stuck on an emotional roller coaster, or like they have trouble relaxing and feeling safe. In therapy, I create an accepting, non-judgmental environment where my clients can feel seen. From there, I help clients understand themselves and what they need to grow and heal. I view every person as a unique individual. What helps one person the most might be different from what helps someone else. As an integrative therapist, I draw on different theories, research, and techniques to customize treatment for each patient. My style is both warm and direct; I want you to feel accepted and understood, but I will also challenge you. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you've felt judged or misunderstood in the past. If you think we might be a good fit, I invite you reach out for a free 15 minute phone consultation. I usually reply to inquiries within 24 hours. I am currently accepting new online (Zoom) clients in California, New York, and Virginia. License Numbers: CA: PSY36510, NY: 027719, VA: 0810009040
