You're the person who holds it together for everyone else — and has been for a long time. Maybe you're a parent watching your teen shut down and not knowing how to reach them. Maybe you're the high-achiever who looks fine on the outside but is running on empty inside. You're navigating anxiety that won't quit, depression that's hard to explain, ADHD or Autism that makes everything harder than it should be, or emotional overwhelm that no one around you fully understands. You want real answers — not just to cope, but to actually feel like yourself again.
I am a doctoral-level Licensed Psychologist with 10+ years of clinical training in anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and Autism. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, and ACT, and incorporate somatic-informed interventions into my work. I provide individual therapy for teens and adults, and parent management training.
You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out. Whether you're ready to start or just exploring what support could look like, I'd love to connect. Schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation If you’re ready to move forward with clarity and support, reach out to schedule a consultation.

I am the psychologist for the strong friend—the overachiever striving for perfection, the one breaking generational cycles, the person carrying their family's weight. I especially love working with teens and young adults learning to balance big dreams with real-life pressures. Let's do the work together.
