I'm a licensed clinical psychologist (Ph.D.) and owner and founder of Turning Toward Therapy with numerous years of experience helping adults and couples navigate cancer, chronic pain, chronic illness, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, oppression, disconnection, neurodivergence, and the messiness of being human.

I aim to strike the balance between acceptance and change, responsiveness and structure, and the art and science of therapy. Using evidence-based approaches, I offer compassionate, nonjudgmental, and personalized care that honors all aspects of diversity.
I specialize in tailored process-based therapy that meets you where you are and aligns with your goals for therapy. I primarily pull from third-wave behavioral models (ACT, DBT), mindfulness-based therapies, self-compassion, and emotionally focused/attachment based frameworks.
For your first session, you can expect a clear overview of the session agenda, and to be warmly guided through initial questions that will inform our plan for therapy. You can expect a validating, affirming, and supportive environment. By the end of the first session, we'll have a preliminary idea of our plan for therapy.
