About
Welcome! Taking the first step toward an evaluation or therapy can feel like a big leap, and my primary goal is to ensure you feel heard, valued, and genuinely supported from day one. I strive to create a warm, affirming, and inclusive space where we can honor your unique strengths, life experiences, and personal challenges.
I am a licensed psychologist in California, Colorado, Florida, and West Virginia. Throughout my career in private practice and group settings, I have had the privilege of working with a wonderfully diverse client population. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression, with dedicated expertise in LGBTQ+ affirmative care and support for military service members and veterans.
In addition to individual therapy, I bring extensive experience in comprehensive psychological testing and forensic evaluation—including assessments for workers’ compensation claims, Social Security Disability benefits, and legal proceedings.
I believe a diagnosis should be a helpful roadmap for receiving the right support—not a label that defines or limits who you are. Whether we are working together to navigate life's hurdles or seeking clarity through an in-depth psychological evaluation, my aim is to help you gain insight, foster resilience, and feel fully empowered on your path forward.
I am dedicated to offering evaluations that honor neurodiversity and center the individual's lived experience. The decision to seek an assessment often comes from a desire for clarity and validation, and I aim to make that journey supportive and empowering. By highlighting individual strengths while identifying areas where tailored support is needed, I help clients navigate life’s complexities, leverage their natural talents, and access tools that enhance connection, well-being, and self-advocacy.
I conduct evaluations with a compassionate focus on validation, respect, and individual strengths. I believe an accurate assessment requires active listening and a deep appreciation of your lived experience. In our sessions, your feelings and perspective are always central. Together, we look beyond challenges to highlight your inherent abilities, equipping you with meaningful self-knowledge and practical clarity for your daily life and relationships.
