I am committed to helping those who seek greater understanding, connection, and stability in relationships with self and others. Specialty areas include social anxiety, attachment, BPD spectrum, trauma, depression, young adult development, leadership, and relationship issues.
Depending on patients' needs and preferences, I emphasize different approaches in therapy. I consider multiple layers of human life, including the developmental, relational, behavioral, cultural, and spiritual. I learn from my clients/patients, trusted supervisors, a wide range of research evidence, and my own experience.
I love applying advances in research to how I think about my patients' care. My work is informed by relational psychodynamic and cognitive/behavioral approaches (including ACT, DBT, CBT), and by my background in yoga, somatics, and mindfulness. Above all, I think my job is to listen to you really well, while bringing curiosity, challenge, and kindness toward your unique human experience..
I strive to make my practice accessible and affirming, and invite questions and concerns about how I might be able to serve someone with your unique background and identities.
I am currently accepting new patients.
I have recently expanded into offering groups, brief consultations, and therapy intensives, as well as weekly therapy. I am in-network with Blue Cross and its affiliates, and also accept private pay (out of network). I am happy to provide superbills or submit reimbursement claims on your behalf. I am a Licensed Psychologist - Doctorate in Vermont (048.0134240).
Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, I earned my B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Vermont. During my doctoral training, I worked at an outpatient community clinic focusing on short-term behavioral therapies, and at a specialty clinic serving refugees, New Americans, and survivors of torture. I completed my clinical internship at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Fort Logan, a state psychiatric hospital in Denver serving people with psychiatric concerns and life circumstances resulting in long-term inpatient mental health care. I then returned to Vermont to for a postdoctoral fellowship and subsequent Staff Psychologist position at the University of Vermont Medical Center, working in the inpatient psychiatry department and primarily serving people in suicidal crisis or other acute states of distress. In 2020, I opened my private practice. I also recently spent a year providing individual and group therapy part-time at PATH at Stone Summit, a residential treatment center in southern Vermont primarily serving young adults with trauma and self-harm concerns.
