Hello, my name is Olivia (she/her). I am a Clinical Psychologist and I help women and LGBTIQA+ people with anxiety to understand and improve their mental health and relationships.
​
The majority of my practice focuses on:
-
emotion regulation
-
attachment relationships
-
identity development
-
trauma
My clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, but after working together, they typically feel more calm, open and courageous to face life's challenges.
More About My Work
People with anxiety
This includes the spectrum of anxiety from mild worry to clinically significant anxiety. I consider anxiety as an umbrella term, including: stress, general anxiety, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, attachment issues, trauma responses, a part of ADHD, and more.
​
Women
I work with people of all genders, but my intersectional feminist values stand out in my work. I acknowledge the mental health field is patriarchal and am sensitive and intentional in my work to empower women.
LGBTIQA+ people
I use this acronym to speak about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer, Asexual, Pansexual, Brotherboys and Sistergirls, Non-Binary and Gender Non-Conforming, and other identities. All of these are important, no matter where their letter falls.
