You are not broken, and you do not need to be fixed. I specialize in working with high-capacity individuals - the ones who carry everyone else while quietly running on empty. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and a relational, justice-oriented framework, I help clients unhook from cycles of over-responsibility, perfectionism, and chronic stress so they can move toward rest, authenticity, and a life aligned with what truly matters. With over 15 years of experience, warmth, and grounded honesty, I create a space where you can finally stop being the strong one for a while.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strength-based strategies, I help clients shift unhelpful thought loops, strengthen emotional awareness, and reconnect with their values. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in practical tools that support meaningful growth—in and outside of sessions.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in comprehensive psychological assessment and diagnostic clarification for adults, with a focus on ADHD evaluations, autism spectrum assessments, and complex differential diagnosis. Many clients seek assessment after years of feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or unsure why prior treatment has not fully helped. Others are high-functioning adults who suspect ADHD or autism later in life and want clear, professional answers.

I see therapy as an opportunity for fostering personal growth and achieving emotional maturity. We all face challenges and struggles at various points in our lives. Failure to overcome these challenges can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression and may impact one's relationship with family and friends. While we can't change the past, therapy can help uncover long-standing patterns and behaviors that can get in the way of fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others. I will help you understand the problems you are facing and find meaning and solutions that work best for you.

I've really narrowed down my craft in therapy to focus on anxiety, OCD through ERP, insomnia/ sleep issues, ADHD, grief, and other interpersonal issues.
With teens and adolescents I focus on building the relationship first and foremost since it's the most important part of therapy no matter what age. From there we really explore and process their current needs and focus on values to attach therapeutic goals to. As I work with adults the same process happens in tandem with mindful self compassion training.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
