Hi! As a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I'm incredibly proud to say that I've worked in multiple settings with people from diverse backgrounds. I've most often worked with African-American men and women, Veterans, individuals suffering from depression, trauma, stress, relationship dysfunction, and substance abuse. Regardless of the issue, the initial question has always been the same: "How can I help this person navigate their world, and become the best version of themselves in the process?"
