I am a licensed clin­i­cal psy­chol­o­gist with robust expe­ri­ence work­ing in com­mu­ni­ty, res­i­den­tial and med­ical set­tings. I work pre­dom­i­nate­ly from a rela­tion­al mod­el that uti­lizes an inter­sec­tion­al fem­i­nist lens to sit­u­ate people’s lived expe­ri­ences. Peo­ple can have mul­ti­ple iden­ti­ties and belief sys­tems that deserve recog­ni­tion. Lever­ag­ing these nuances can empow­er patients to uti­lize cop­ing strate­gies and frame­works that serve to bet­ter sus­tain their well­be­ing. Whether it is seek­ing out spe­cif­ic solu­tions or mak­ing mean­ing of an event, I strive to work col­lab­o­ra­tive­ly along­side patients in their healing journey.

I also have exten­sive expe­ri­ence work­ing with the LGBTQ+ Com­mu­ni­ty. I rec­og­nize the impor­tance of under­stand­ing the his­tor­i­cal, sociopo­lit­i­cal con­text to de-pathol­o­giz­ing sex­u­al and gen­der iden­ti­ty dif­fer­ences. From com­ing out to nav­i­gat­ing trans/​gender expan­sive care, I enjoy walk­ing along­side folks in mov­ing towards liv­ing more authen­ti­cal­ly. I sup­port work­ing from an informed con­sent mod­el and strong­ly believe in empow­er­ing peo­ple to make their own choic­es when con­sid­er­ing what con­gru­ence and authen­tic­i­ty looks like for them.
