Great to meet you!

Hello! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience helping people navigate life's challenges. In my practice, I blend warm relationship-focused care with practical tools like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma, improve family relationships, and successfully manage major life transitions. Having worked in private practice, hospitals, and community centers, I meet you exactly where you are without judgment. My goal is to build a safe, collaborative partnership where we work as a team to foster your real-world progress.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach blends a warm, relational style with practical, evidence-based tools to support your unique healing journey. Grounded in Relational-Cultural Therapy, I prioritize building a safe, authentic partnership where you feel truly heard and valued. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to give you concrete, everyday strategies for real-world progress. With over 25 years of experience across hospitals and private practice, I specialize in helping individuals recover from trauma, mend family relationships, and navigate major life transitions. Together, we will build on your strengths so you can adapt, grow, and thrive.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a warm, unhurried space where our primary goal is simply to get comfortable talking together. We will start by exploring what brings you to therapy right now and what you hope to gain from our work. I will invite you to share a bit about your background, but you only share what you feel ready to disclose. Toward the end, we will collaborate on a few initial, realistic goals to guide our next steps. Ultimately, you will leave with a clear sense of how we fit as a team and a baseline plan for your forward progress.
