I'm a therapist who meets clients, couples, and families where they are, committed to creating a safe space for healing. My approach is multidisciplinary, drawing from extensive experience in clinical psychology and my research background in experimental and social psychology, which keeps me grounded in evidence-based practices. Whether working through childhood trauma, life transitions, intergenerational wounds, or relationship dynamics, I am here to support you. My work at Oxford on intergroup contact taught me the transformative power of understanding diverse experiences, and I bring that insight to my practice.
I specialize in mood disorders like depression and anxiety, trauma and stress-related issues, adjustment challenges (career pivots, divorce, grief), and personality disorders like borderline personality disorder. Working within CBT and psychodynamic frameworks, I integrate DBT for emotional regulation and EFT with attachment-based strategies for couples.
Life can feel unbearably heavy—whether it's sadness that lingers, anxiety that tightens, or feeling trapped in a place that no longer fits. You don't have to carry it alone. Change can be messy and complex, but you deserve a space to be heard in all your fullness. If you're ready to explore what’s next, I’ll meet you where you are, honoring the unique layers
