About
I most often work with folks who are experiencing significant emotional distress, whether due to trauma, psychosis, chronic illness, or discrimination. It is my honor as a therapist to meet each client exactly where they are and use therapy as an opportunity for growth, validation, and empowerment. I enjoy collaborating with you to understand you values, preferences, and goals, and identify an approach that is most likely to be helpful for you- while leaving lots of room to tailor to your needs. Ultimately, therapy should help light a path forward towards a life you find meaningful, empowering, and joyful- something we all deserve. I have expertise in more severe and chronic mental health concerns, including psychosis, PTSD, depression, and difficulty managing emotions, connecting with others and/or thinking. I trained in person-centered, research-supported treatments in graduate school and my fellowship at UCSD/San Diego VA. I have worked in inpatient and residential care settings. I completed specialty training in CBT for psychosis, Social Skills Training, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Seeking Safety, among others. I have significant experience working with women, people of color, neurodivergent and disabled people, and veterans. I also conduct research focused on improving mental health care and client-clinician collaboration.
