Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in supporting women through life’s most complex and transitional seasons. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or changes related to perimenopause and midlife, I provide a space that is supportive, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care.

Although, I focus on women, if you are male-identifying and interested, please reach out to see if we would be a good match.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, direct, and practical. I believe therapy should not only help you feel heard and understood, but also give you tools to create meaningful and lasting change in your daily life.

What you can expect from me

In our work together from the first session and always, you can expect a space that is:

  • Supportive and nonjudgmental
  • Goal-oriented and practical
  • Collaborative and empowering

I aim to help you better understand yourself, strengthen coping skills, and feel more in control of your emotional well-being.
