About
As a clinical psychologist, I am honored to work with adults of all different backgrounds in my practice. Therapy is a space for you to share thoughts and feelings, clarify options, and build tools to improve your mood or anxiety and reach personal goals. In the process, clients come to know and understand themselves better. The psychotherapy I provide draws on techniques and theories from cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal (IPT), and psychodynamic (insight-oriented) approaches.
