Welcome to my practice! I’m a board-certified clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, specializing in depression, trauma, anxiety, grief, and relationship issues. I’m here to support you through life’s transitions, whether they involve existential concerns, trauma, or relational challenges. Together, we will explore how your past experiences influence your present thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and we’ll work toward achieving your personal goals for change, meaning, and a renewed sense of purpose, connection, and vitality.
My therapeutic approach is humanistic and integrative, drawing from various evidence-based techniques. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and trained in Relational Life Therapy (RLT). As a fellow in Thanatology, I specialize in loss and grief counseling and have an additional background in bioethics.
In my practice, I also work with therapists, medical doctors, and professionals in the healthcare field, offering tailored support for those who face the unique challenges associated with caregiving roles. I look forward to supporting you on this journey toward growth and healing.

I specialize in grief, trauma, relationships and life transitions. I work through an integrative lens and draw from existential/humanistic, relational life therapy, parts work therapy, Polyvagal theory, EMDR therapy and various grief therapy theories. This allows me to be more open to each person's lived experience and the type of support they seek.
