Great to meet you!

Life isn’t always easy, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. My educational background includes: Bachelor’s in Psychology, Master’s in Performance Psychology, Master’s in Counseling, and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I have experience working with a wide range of presenting problems and truly love what I do!

My approach to therapy

I take a collaborative, trauma-informed approach to create a safe space for exploration and growth. Using different evidence-based practices like CBT and DBT, I help clients develop insight, regulate emotions, and build effective coping strategies. I specialize in working with individuals navigating stress management, trauma, anxiety, depression, and bipolar-related concerns.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you and what’s bringing you in. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, challenges, and goals, while also making sure you feel comfortable and heard. Together, we’ll begin identifying what you’d like to work on and create a plan that feels realistic and supportive. My goal is for you to leave feeling understood and with a clear sense of next steps.
