Hello! Welcome to my practice.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience working with clients to make meaningful life changes.

I was drawn to psychology through my own struggles with anxiety and depression as an adolescent, just when I was deciding what to do with my life. There began my journey to help others navigate the challenges of life and particularly those struggling with mental health concerns.

I am passionate about partnering with you to engage with a life that feels vital and connected. My training in research-backed psychology allows me to be more than just a friendly, empathetic ear. (But I am friendly and empathetic too!) My clients appreciate my casual and supportive manner, along with my willingness to gently challenge their perspectives and encourage bravery in actions.

I use an integrative, evidence-based approach that draws upon client-centered and cognitive behavioral therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Radically Open - Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT).
