I'm a licensed psychologist and consider myself a generalist with a wide variety of clinical interests including issues related to family of origin, self esteem, identity development, depression, anxiety, stress, and interpersonal relationships.

Attending to mental health can have such a profound effect on quality of life and ability to function! Yet, it can seem so vulnerable and scary to make that first appointment, even if we know it will help. Great job leaning into that discomfort, prioritizing your needs, and pushing toward growth!

I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and emotional burnout. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking relief from difficult emotions, healthier relationships, greater self-confidence, or support through a challenging season of life. Using a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach, I help clients build coping skills, gain insight into unhelpful patterns, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, resilient, and connected to the life you want to live.
