I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 19 years of experience in private practice.

It can be overwhelming when anxiety, postpartum struggles, or major life changes leave you feeling unsteady and unsure of yourself. Even if everything looks “okay” on the outside, inside you might feel isolated, exhausted, or stuck between who you’ve been and who you want to become. My personal and professional experiences have played a pivotal role in motivating me to pursue a career as a mental health clinician. Witnessing the challenges faced by others, along with my own journey of self-discovery, ignited a deep desire to help people navigate their emotional and mental health struggles.

I am in-network with Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, and Quest via Headway.

Anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles can quietly shape how you see yourself and the people around you.

I support adults 18+ facing anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges while helping them reconnect with clarity, balance, and a stronger sense of self.

I enjoy working with adult clients who will value the work they put into therapy as much as the work they get out. I work with couples, families, and individuals all of whom want to create a better environment for themselves to thrive in.

Relationship therapy in particular is a specialty of mine and I work with couples of all spectrums move through seemingly impenetrable challenges. Families can also find themselves comfortable in my therapy office.
