Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and ordained minister with more than 25 years of experience supporting high-achieving women through anxiety, ADHD, depression, chronic stress, and unresolved trauma. Many of the women I work with look like they have it all together on the outside, yet privately feel like everything is falling apart — carrying grief, relationship strain, and questions of identity beneath a composed surface. My own healing journey taught me that lasting change is possible, and I bring that hard-won compassion into every session. I believe you can move from simply holding it together to living an authentic, unapologetic life that feels like your own.

My approach to therapy

I integrate evidence-based psychology with a holistic, client-centered approach that honors the mind, body, and spiritual dimensions of who you are. In our work together, we'll establish a safe, grounding space, clarify your intentions, and build a collaborative treatment plan tailored to your goals — with practical coping skills you can use between sessions. My style is warm, direct, and deeply respectful: I meet you with both clinical expertise and genuine care. Across 25 years in private practice, I've learned that healing happens in relationship, and I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

What you can expect from me

In our first sessions, my goal is simply for you to feel safe, seen, and understood. Together we'll gently explore what brought you here, identify what matters most to you, and begin shaping a path forward at a pace that feels right. You don't have to have it all figured out — you just have to show up. When you're ready, I'd be honored to support you — you can book a session with me directly here on Headway.
