Strength doesn't come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't do. My therapeutic style is tailored to you as the individual and what you need to help you overcome, improve, change, process, relieve, heal or balance. I will meet you in whatever phase you are in and we will begin from there.

Do you find yourself being the person that everyone else counts on? You get things done, achieve what you set your mind to, and appear “together” on the outside. But inside, it’s a different story. The anxiety is constant, the self-criticism is exhausting, and no matter how much you accomplish, it never feels like enough. If you find yourself stuck in cycles of perfectionism, burnout, or people-pleasing, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to stay this way.

You might be someone who’s spent years putting others first while quietly feeling exhausted, anxious, or never quite “enough.” Maybe you overthink, people-please, or struggle to set boundaries without guilt. You want to feel calmer, more confident, and able to trust yourself — not constantly questioning your worth. For teens and young adults, this often shows up as pressure to be perfect, fear of disappointing others, or feeling lost in who you’re supposed to be.

Every client deserves to be understood with clarity and compassion. My work focuses on uncovering the ‘why’ behind struggles—whether with attention, learning, or emotional regulation—so that each individual, couple, or family can move forward with greater confidence. As a clinical psychologist specializing in psychological and neuropsychological assessment, I believe testing is not just about scores—it’s about opening doors to better treatment, clearer paths, and lasting hope.

Choosing a therapist is like embarking on a journey to a faraway destination. There are many routes you can take; some are fast, others are slow, others can show you things you never dreamed possible and some routes are routine. Taking the wrong path can be disappointing whereas the correct route can be life changing. I encourage you to find a therapist who fits your style, someone who will ride along and explore with you, and someone who you enjoy being with through the trials and tribulations, as well as the happiness and joy of your unique journey. I hope I fit the role of your navigator in this journey we call life.

You might feel as if the stresses of everyday life, job, and relationships are just too much to bear.
I'm skills focused & want to give you skills to apply to life now. Beyond traditional methods and talk therapy, I specialize in outdoor/nature therapy. I operate my practice on a private 28-acre outdoor nature park and garden. In-person sessions will be held at the park and would utilize the healing power of nature in tandem with traditional talk therapy.
