I integrate various modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.
I provide individual therapy for adult women experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, codependency, life transitions, relationship issues, and self-esteem. I love working with women who are wanting to overcome people pleasing, learn to set boundaries, and gain self-compassion. Additionally, as a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist, I enjoy working with folks who have a loved one experiencing addiction and need support. We might be a good fit if you often feel responsible for the emotions of others around you, or find yourself in people-pleasing cycles that leave you feeling resentful and drained.

My ideal client would be someone struggling with life based on what they were taught or the environment in which they were raised. Sometimes what we feel worked for us in one environment or situation will not work in the same environment or a new one based on time or the growth of others. I believe we all owe it to ourselves to make self-reflection a consistent habit and aim to grow as much as we can. My clients often want to feel comfortable in their own skin, communicate well with others and live a life full of success and peace. I focus on personal acceptance, healthy relationships (Family/romantic) and peace for my clients.

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, it is truly my privilege to witness the kind of strength that is needed to enter into therapy. I have special appreciation for the (often painful) moment when your present becomes harder than the fear that comes with change. I hope you’ll find acceptance and respect for exactly who you are, while I also commit to do all I can to support the desired transformation in the areas that brought us together. I try to approach all that I do with compassion, curiosity, and with a deep appreciation for our shared humanity.
