I am a licensed psychologist who works with individuals and groups, both virtually and in-person. Much of my work involves supporting people dealing with trauma, anxiety, disconnection, distressing relationships, and suicidal thoughts. As a therapist, I am deeply interested in who my patients are as people, how they came to be them, and how they experience the world given their unique life histories, cultural experiences, and identities. People are much more than their difficulties or diagnoses, and I see therapy as an opportunity for a person to encounter more of themselves, make sense of their experience of the world, and work towards what they want and need in life.

My career as a therapist has involved working and training in community mental health, university-based counseling, and inpatient settings, including extensive experience doing trauma-focused work and supporting people considering suicide. I am also an adjunct faculty member at Mount Saint Mary’s University, where I teach clinical theory to students pursuing their doctoral degrees in psychology. I greatly value the privilege of being a therapist, and part of what motivates me in this work is the belief that talking and meeting together, in the context of an authentic and caring relationship, can create a powerful space for insight, empowerment, and healing.
