Hi there, I'm Penn!

Whether you're struggling with addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, I am here to guide you toward discovering your inner strengths and resources. Together, we can explore your values, beliefs, and goals to help you create a fulfilling and meaningful life on your terms.

My focus

I specialize in treating addictions, depression, anxiety, trauma, and personality disorders. I focus on seeing you as a whole person beyond labels, in the context of your relationships, career, sense of purpose, gender, cultural identifications, and sexuality.

My approach

Using a trauma-informed lens, attachment theory, and a comprehensive and holistic approach, I help my clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and actions. I draw from CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic theory to help clients develop coping skills to manage their day-to-day lives while finding their passion and purpose.
