I work with individuals, couples, as well as families. My practice has a particular specialization in family and couples therapy as well as working with individuals impacted by the intersections of gender, race, faith, and sexuality. Learn more about the services I offer here. I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and a Master of Arts in Theological Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary. I have received specialized training in psychodynamic theory and psychotherapy from LAISPS [Los Angeles Institute and Society for Psychoanalytic Studies] which my clients find help them get to the root of their pain and dysfunction. In addition to my academic pursuits, my work within community mental health and crisis intervention uniquely enables me to serve a diverse client base, spanning a full spectrum of identity, access, background, orientation, and age. Active in nonprofit spaces since graduate school, I remain an active voice in discussions and forums across the nation, contributing to a national dialogue that works at the intersections of faith, gender, and sexuality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d899fc916b8d93476cef512/1773965894306-K5VJQHKSVY03E99YOF34/D8757D71-B2F8-47E4-ABF3-2CFA32B5CBF4_1_102_a.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d899fc916b8d93476cef512/1773965924878-5PKPZU05Y0YT5X1CUKJO/44B52195-2588-4E87-A51B-0D92E0C44C51_1_105_c.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d899fc916b8d93476cef512/1773965968989-YNKQBSXYNKRRB8Q8LR4O/C36867FF-0E25-42B3-B663-2D4956F28CC0_1_105_c.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d899fc916b8d93476cef512/1773966039463-5CBZDNMNOE8Q223WQGLT/1EBB088D-5D1E-46D8-AB5C-3F8788CC11D5_1_105_c.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d899fc916b8d93476cef512/1601612327621-VCH8JJDBJSV8K6Y31YGR/F3150A57-B4C7-4607-9248-3CA52AF36AAA_1_201_a.jpeg About Collies are truly the best! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d899fc916b8d93476cef512/f23b3285-51ee-4fc4-9f85-30957249b5f1/D8757D71-B2F8-47E4-ABF3-2CFA32B5CBF4_1_102_a.jpeg About - Make it stand out Conference Speaker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d899fc916b8d93476cef512/1601612626151-EX9F2N4ST4LZ1GTGRM72/F013F79D-B3A1-4658-AF7D-3F674672E496_1_105_c.jpeg About My husband and I love finding great coffee wherever we travel! https://www.nppsychotherapy.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d899fc916b8d93476cef512/1602365987712-7PUEBI5TWM54MATI79QN/CyNI1xhXUAAdlfA.jpg Contact - CONTACT Schedule an appointment below https://www.nppsychotherapy.com/why daily 0.75 2023-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d899fc916b8d93476cef512/1601609465682-T8SRV1TA13LPOOUWO6YF/image-asset.jpeg WHY - WHY THERAPY?
