I have been a licensed psychologist in California for over 10 years and more recently licensed in South Carolina. I am excited to have a private practice over telepsychology (video visits). I enjoy learning about people and helping them learn more about themselves. I think psychotherapy is a powerful way to make lasting change in one’s life.
I generally draw upon evidence-based methods in my work, or those that have been shown by research to be effective. No method works without a positive, supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere: I really strive to create this type of setting in my sessions so change can take place.
I integrate different theoretical orientations in my work, including:
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Interpersonal Therapy
- Motivational Interviewing
Truth is what works.

Fees
My fees are aligned with other doctoral- level psychologists (PhD/PsyD). I will consider a sliding scale depending on several factors. I am also an out-of-network provider, so cost would be out-of-pocket or reimbursed by your insurer if you have out-of-network benefits. Please contact me to discuss further.
