About
I am a licensed psychologist with a background in community mental health and university counseling practicing privately since 2011. I take a holistic approach to therapeutic work, using the context of culture, personal development, and multiple dimensions of identity. I also specialize in evidence-based therapies including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), behavioral activation for depression, radically open dbt (RODBT) for issues of over-control, and prolonged exposure for PTSD. I am board certified as a DBT therapist through the Linehan Institute and infuse elements of DBT like mindfulness practice into my general work. My areas of expertise include treatment of eating disorders and specific work with athletes, issues of over-control and maladaptive perfectionism, LGBT-affirmative therapy, and mood disorders. Ongoing training and professional collaboration strongly inform my work and I am currently pursuing level 2 training in RODBT.
