Taking the first step to start therapy is a powerful choice, and I want you to feel supported from day one. In our work together, we won’t spend hours analyzing the past. Instead, we will focus on the present giving you the practical tools, shifts in mindset, and healthy habits you need to navigate life right now. My goal is to provide a safe space where you feel heard. Whether you are trying to manage anxiety, irritability, burnout, racing thoughts, depression, panic attacks, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, medical conditions, eating disorders, relationship conflict, self-harm, or substance use, you don't have to figure it out alone.
As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience, I hold a dual PhD in Clinical & Industrial-Organizational Psychology, which means I deeply understand human emotion and the unique pressures of the modern workplace. I have advanced post-doctoral training in CBT, DBT, and mindfulness as well as conduct adult & child ADHD evaluations.
I’ve had the privilege of working in medical, corporate, government, and private mental health settings. Beyond my private practice, I am deeply passionate about mental health accessibility and write a free self-help blog that connects with over 50,000 readers globally. I hope to support you on your journey and look forward to working with you.
