I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in treating adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, phase of life problems, and relationship issues. I have undergraduate degrees in business and psychology, as well as master’s and doctoral degrees in clinical psychology. I have experience working in university and community mental health clinics, as well as hospital settings, and currently work in private practice.
My philosophy in therapy is that you, as the client, define your goals. As a therapist, I don't have a prototype that I am trying to turn all of my clients into. Everyone has their own unique set of circumstances, background, strengths, and weaknesses. My approach is to meet you where you're at, understand what you want to change, and use my skills, knowledge, and experience to help you manifest that change.
Clients can expect to feel welcomed and comfortable opening up at their own pace. While therapy is a safe space where you can feel free to discuss things you wouldn’t necessarily share with other people, I am patient in understanding that for many people, feeling completely at ease takes time, and often doesn’t happen in a linear fashion. In the end, clients can expect to feel understood and empowered to grow and improve their lives.
