I am a PhD Clinical Psychologist who understands how therapy can be a powerful experience; I feel honored to be a part of this process with you. A good relationship with your therapist balances relatability and professionalism to help you feel comfortable. My therapy style is warm, practical, supportive and nonjudgmental. I respect each client's uniqueness and story; both are key to help us understand where you are and how to help you move forward to gain peace, calm and contentedness in your life. I provide individual therapy in a safe, supportive space, and serve as your gentle and kind guide to a happier, healthier life.
I have experience treating individuals with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic pain, life transitions, fertility issues, and medical and neurological conditions. I utilize evidence-based approaches including but not limited to CBT and EMDR. I also offer pre-surgical psychological assessment.
I know first hand how unnerving it can be to connect with new person for therapy. "What will I say? What if I don't know exactly what's wrong? What if we don't click? How do I know she's the one for me?" Please be assured that I have years of experience with therapy first appointments. I will guide you if you feel unsure. Please click the My Website button.
