Seeking to improve our relationship with ourselves and others can feel uncertain and overwhelming. As a therapist, I strive to remove barriers by providing an open, trusting, and nonjudgmental space where self-acceptance and healing can be fostered for individuals and partnerships. Difficulties such as life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, or unexpected events can leave us feeling disconnected and isolated. Through the collaborative experience of therapy, couples, polycules, or triads can find renewed, deeper bonds and individuals can untangle the past, process the current, and grow through supportive change.

I'm a clinical health psychologist who specializes in helping high-achieving professionals like you tackle stress, burnout, insomnia, anxiety, and depression while enhancing your overall well-being.

Accepting new clients, evening hours! Anxiety & OCD show up in many ways. Overthinking, worrying about the "what ifs" like letting people down, making mistakes, contamination, causing harm or "the other shoe dropping". You may feel scattered, procrastinate tasks, be easily frustrated or get stuck when stressed. You try to handle everything on your own not wanting to burden others but now you're burnt out. Compulsions (like checking, counting) help you feel symmetrical or safe but consume your time and only delay the worry. Therapy can help relieve your symptoms to find peace to focus on life beyond anxiety. Hours: 10:45am-6:45pm
