As humans we often spend our days holding ourselves to impossible standards and mistaking self-judgment for motivation. While self-criticism may sometimes push us forward, it more often fuels stress, anxiety, and self-doubt. Research shows that self-compassion is a far more effective path to resilience, easing psychological distress while strengthening confidence, motivation, and overall well-being. More importantly, it helps us pursue our goals and live in alignment with our values. However, the true challenge lies in learning to practice self-compassion actively in a way that is both meaningful and lasting in our lives.
As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I help high-achievers overcome stress, perfectionism, and self-doubt. My Ph.D. research explored these patterns and I have advanced certifications in Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy (SCIP) and Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C), using a science-backed, results-driven approach to help you build confidence and clarity.
Seeking support is a powerful step toward meaningful change, and you don’t have to do it alone. My approach is grounded in evidence-based research, helping you break unhelpful patterns, build resilience, and develop lasting change. With the right tools and expert guidance, you can create a life worth living. When you're ready, I would love to support you.

I utilize evidence-based treatments backed by science. For example, our first session may explore CBT and ACT, focusing on self-compassion. We'll understand how thoughts affect emotions and behaviors, aiming to nurture a kind inner voice. Our goal is to reframe thoughts for emotional well-being, build resilience and self-acceptance, and foster a fulfilling life through meaning and understanding.
