Great to meet you!

I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, dedicated to helping adults navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, addiction, and life transitions.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies, including DBT and psychodynamic techniques.

My approach to therapy

I provide a warm, validating, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space where we can safely explore the impact of your experiences. Together, we will uncover the sources of your distress and work toward healing. With specialized skills in trauma-informed care, I help clients understand and address how past wounds may be shaping their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

What you can expect from me

Whether you're facing a specific life challenge or looking to deepen your self-awareness, I’m here to help you work through obstacles and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
