No one is immune from life’s challenges, but you don’t have to face them alone. Working with a therapist provides a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space to reveal your innermost thoughts and feelings. This partnership can bring healing, relief, and positive change. You are not broken, sick, or destined to repeat generational patterns. You are powerful and capable of affecting change in your life and healing yourself. Ultimately, you deserve to write your own story and live your best life. I am here to support you on your journey of healing and self-discovery. I look forward to meeting you and working together!
I believe that much of what society labels as “mental illness” can be boiled down to normal biological processes. Nervous system dysregulation, imbalances in neurotransmitters, and real-world stressors can manifest as anxiety, depression, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. These are symptoms of the problem that do not define us and need to be depathologized.
As a scientist with a Ph.D in molecular and neurobiology, I offer a unique perspective as a therapist. Combining my deep scientific knowledge with my passion for therapy gives me a distinctive viewpoint as a clinician. My work is rooted in analytic thought and neuroscience, and I use this as a platform to customize treatment plans for each client and couple.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety related to their past and /or present relationships. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
