Hello there, my name is Aimee, and I am a clinical psychology doctoral intern with four years of experience doing individual psychotherapy and psychological assessments. My passion for mental health began my first year of college when I started studying the justice system and began understanding how systemic barriers lead to negative mental health outcomes for marginalized communities. I specialize in working with individuals who hold marginalized identities, have a history of criminal justice involvement, have diagnoses of ADHD or ASD, and those managing psychosis at community level of care. I believe a person-centered approach is crucial in the therapeutic relationship and for healing.

My approach to therapy is rooted in humanistic and psychodynamic theories, but I also draw from other techniques from feminist and social justice psychology. My goal is to create a safe space using unconditional positive regard, to support clients in exploring their belief systems, self-concept, and learned adaptations which may no longer serve them. I’m dedicated to promoting healing and creating a space where clients can explore and develop their true selves.

I hold a master’s degree in professional psychology from William James College and have additional training in forensic psychology, including treatment those who experience serious mental illness. My professional experience includes four years of working in residential programs, partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient programs, and inpatient hospital settings.

When I am not in the office, I enjoy going birding with my wife and our dog and painting snarky signs to decorate our home. I am passionate about being both an activist and an advocate for all facets of DEI, and in particular, the LGBTQIA2S+ and disability communities.
