Great to meet you!

As a clinical psychologist and licensed mental health counselor, I truly believe that taking care of your mental health is key to finding happiness and stability in life. I know that reaching out for help can be a big step, so I want to congratulate you on making it! With 20 years of experience, I’ve spent the past decade focusing on helping young women aged 15-25 who are struggling with anxiety and depression. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly heard and supported, and to help you embrace the journey toward becoming the best version of yourself.

My approach to therapy

I believe everyone’s story is unique and deserves a personalized approach to care. When we work together, we’ll be partners in your journey, with open communication and mutual respect at the heart of our relationship. I’m here to listen, offer support, and challenge you when needed as we work toward your goals.

What you can expect from me

I begin with an introductory session where you can share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. Together, we'll explore your goals and how to best reach them. My priority is to create a warm and welcoming space where you feel safe, comfortable, and able to be open. From there, we’ll work together in each session to bring those goals to life and make meaningful progress.
