I am a solar Leo, lunar Taurus, Virgo rising, Enneagram 2, and INFJ. After training and practicing at an academic medical center for the past six years, I wanted more for myself and my clients: more time, more connection, and a more holistic, mind-body approach. My practice philosophy is based on evidence, your values, and shared decision making to tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs and goals. My areas of expertise include mood, trauma, and personality disorders. I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities and am a fierce ally. I enjoy working with clients who are experienced in treatment and still looking for the right fit. Authenticity, validation, and empowerment are three words I want you to feel when we work together. 

I’ve packed a lot of life into my three decades: I had skin cancer at 15, studied sustainable community development in South Africa, studied world religions as an undergraduate, wrote my college thesis on history, culture, and religion in the development of racial ideology, and lived in Istanbul with some brief stents in NYC and Paris. I worked at a summer camp, a behavioral health school, and an academic medical center. I enjoy hot yoga, pulling weeds in my yard (farmers daughter and major earth sign), reading (poetry and fiction), road tripping in silence (loud introvert recharge), being walked by my dog, George, and a warm body to my cat Willow.
