I am a Licensed Psychologist with a Psy.D. in clinical psychology from Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona.
I have served adults, adolescents, and couples in the mental health and coaching field for 8 years. I am dedicated to serving individuals who present with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, spirituality, and sexuality-related concerns. I have a passion for providing effective and culturally competent care to individuals with intersecting marginalized identities (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergence, etc.).
I have conducted research supporting the positive correlation between intimacy and sexual satisfaction in same-sex couples as well as research normalizing BDSM, polyamory, and kink in couples therapy. I have a strong passion for serving LGBTQ+ individuals and same-sex couples, providing them with effective care to help improve their emotional, relational, psychological, and sexual well-being. My holistic approach to improving the overall wellness of others is also informed by my background as a Certified Integrative Wellness & Life Coach. Currently, I’m a post-doctoral fellow under the supervision of Dr. Jaya Mathew. I treat adolescents, adults, couples, and groups using techniques from traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT), and reality therapy. I also incorporate body awareness and mindfulness techniques into my therapeutic services.
I have spent most of my life in Pennsylvania and Arizona. I am excited to make Texas my home. I enjoy traveling, dining at new restaurants, spending time with loved ones, and engaging in adventurous activities. I also enjoy dancing, singing, and attending festivals.
