I am a registered psychologist with 19 years of experience in private practice, offering a compassionate and supportive environment to explore and heal from life’s challenges. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and chronic pain, providing a client-centered approach that combines empathy, curiosity, and cultural sensitivity. My work focuses on helping adolescents and adults process past experiences, build emotional resilience, and navigate the emotional toll of chronic pain, creating lasting and meaningful change in their lives.
I provide telehealth consultations only, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space, regardless of location. My personalized approach uses evidence-based therapies such as CBT, ACT, EMDR, mindfulness, kindfulness, and other modalities to help you process emotions, build resilience, and develop healthier coping strategies.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. I understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and I’m here to provide the support you need. If you’re ready to make a positive change and create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling, I invite you to reach out when you're ready.
