As a clinical psychologist, I understand that life's journey can be full of unexpected twists and turns, and I'm here to offer guidance and support along the way. My approach combines clinical expertise with empathy and understanding, empowering you to cope with life’s challenges. By providing tailored evidence-based strategies, I aim to promote resilience, improve quality of life, and facilitate holistic healing. Together, we'll embark on a journey towards living a more meaningful and fulfilling life, grounded in authenticity and enhanced emotional well-being.
I work with children, adolescents, parents, and adults facing a range of challenges. I specialize in helping to manage the difficulties related to chronic and acute illness including cancer, autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, and other medical difficulties. In addition, I work with individuals seeking support for grief and trauma-relate difficulties.
