I'm a licensed psychologist working with adults navigating trauma, loss, identity exploration, life transitions, and emotional challenges related to anxiety, depression, and OCD. My training spans a range of settings, including inpatient psychiatric care, community mental health, psychological assessment, and individual therapy. My goal is to help you move beyond just managing symptoms toward a life that feels meaningful and true to who you are.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and depth-oriented. I value creating a space where you feel comfortable being yourself. A lot of the work involves slowing things down and getting curious about what's happening for you emotionally, which can include facing parts of yourself that may be difficult to acknowledge. I approach this process with compassion while encouraging personal responsibility. I don't see my role as telling you what to do. Instead, I help you understand your thoughts and feelings so you can make decisions based out of alignment rather than fear.
Our first session will be a chance for us to get to know each other. It will feel more like a conversation as we talk about what's bringing you to therapy, any background history, and what you hope to gain from our sessions. You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly formed goal or know exactly where to begin. We’ll use the first few sessions to figure out what you're needing from therapy.
