Great to meet you!

If you're navigating stress, anxiety, burnout or a figuring-it-out phase, stuck between who you were and who you are becoming, you don't have to do it alone

I'm a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping adults who may look like they're holding it all together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain on the inside. Many of my clients struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, anxiety they can't quite pinpoint, or the growing pains that come with outgrowing an old life.

I have a particular interest in the challenges of modern relationships, including dating, situationships, communication difficulties, and recurring relational patterns. I also work with young adults navigating these experiences for the first time and high-achieving professionals balancing career demands with their emotional well-being. Other areas I support include family stress, major relationship decisions, significant life changes, and exploring whether ADHD may be contributing to patterns of overwhelm or difficulty managing daily demands.

My approach combines CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution-focused strategies with practical, real-world tools designed to create meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in goal-oriented therapy, working efficiently and intentionally with a clear focus on the results that matter most to you.

My approach to therapy

I take a collaborative, structured, and supportive approach. Together we'll clarify what you want to change, set meaningful goals, and build practical strategies you can apply in everyday life. I bring both clinical training and human warmth, creating a respectful, safe space where you're genuinely heard.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is focused, welcoming, and purposeful. We'll explore what brought you in, clarify your goals, and map out a direction that fits you, so you leave with at least one insight or strategy you can start using right away.
