Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, certified Imago Relationship Therapist, and perinatal mental health specialist. I treat anxiety, emotion regulation, disordered eating, and relationship struggles during major life transitions. Using a contemporary psychodynamic lens, I help you break unhelpful patterns and navigate the profound journey of parenthood.

My approach to therapy

My approach is relational, warm, collaborative, and active — engaged with your world. As a clinical psychologist, I adapt evidence-based methods to your unique story. I help couples move from friction to deeper connection with Imago Relationship Therapy and support women through Perinatal and Postpartum mental health.

What you can expect from me

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but your first session with me is simply an open, pressure-free conversation. Our primary goal is to help you feel safe, heard, and comfortable.

During this initial session, we will explore what brings you to therapy right now and discuss your history and goals. You don't need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say—we will move entirely at your pace. Together, we will look at what a collaborative treatment plan could look like for you. Think of this first session as a mutual opportunity to see if we are a good fit for one another, with absolutely no pressure or expectations other than showing up exactly as you are.
