Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of college-aged young adults and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and related concerns. I also work with individuals who are expecting a child or adjusting to new parenthood. I work collaboratively with clients to develop effective coping strategies to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence.

My approach to therapy

I provide evidence-based therapy using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with an emphasis on acceptance-based approaches to help clients develop practical coping skills, increase psychological flexibility, and build resilience.

I enjoy working with a wide-range of young adults and adults of varying backgrounds and life experiences. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual's goals, creating a supportive space where clients can better understand themselves, navigate life's challenges, and make meaningful, lasting changes.

What you can expect from me

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. In our first session after the intake session, we will discuss your concerns and develop a treatment plan tailored to your goals. Together, we will build practical skills to manage challenges, improve emotional well-being, and create effective change.
