Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s complexities with resilience and authenticity. · I work with adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and trauma. My goal is to support clients in developing coping strategies, enhancing self-awareness, and achieving meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from evidence-based modalities to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs. I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectal behavioral therapy, solution-oriented therapy, and attachment therapy into my approach.

What you can expect from me

I believe therapy should be a collaborative and empowering experience. Clients often describe my style as warm, supportive, and infused with humor, which helps create a safe space for exploration and growth.
