Great to meet you!

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I believe prioritizing mental health is essential for building a life that feels more manageable and meaningful. Reaching out for therapy can be difficult, and taking that step is important. I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, difficulty managing emotions, and relationship challenges. My approach is grounded in evidence-based care, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with a focus on practical skills you can use in daily life.

My approach to therapy

I work in a collaborative and structured way, partnering with clients to understand patterns that contribute to distress and to develop practical strategies for change. My style balances validation with active problem-solving, so clients feel both supported and guided. I specialize in evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, and interpersonal difficulties, using skills-based approaches

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we focus on understanding what brings you to therapy and what you would like to be different in your life. We will clarify goals, discuss how therapy will work, and begin identifying areas to target. I aim to create a calm, respectful, and structured environment where you feel supported while we work toward clear and meaningful outcomes.
