Human connection (to be seen, heard and understood) is a basic need for survival. When we feel connected to others our overall wellbeing improves. Whether I’m working with a young child, a parent navigating challenges, or an adult facing life transitions or emotional distress, my goal is always to create a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. I believe the foundation of meaningful therapy lies in the strength of the connection between therapist and client. This relationship is at the heart of the healing and growth process, and I take great care in building it with warmth, respect, and authenticity.
I am a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience providing psychological services to children, adolescents, and adults. My therapeutic approach is integrative and draws from several evidence based modalities including client centered, cognitive behavioral, attachment based interventions and play base interventions.
Therapy isn't about "fixing". It is about growth and love for self and others. It is about clarity through conversation, improving coping skills for all the hard things in life and strengthening healthy relationships.
I strive to assist my patients not only with symptom relief but also in creating a happier, more fulfilled and connected life.
