Let's Connect (878) 348-8306
I’m a Licensed Psychologist with over 30 years of experience helping adults and teens (14+) navigate a wide range of mental health and relationship challenges. I offer a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where we can work together to better understand your concerns, ease distress, and help you move toward meaningful change.
My approach is integrative and grounded in developmental, attachment, cognitive-behavioral (CBT/DBT), family systems, existential-humanistic, and solution-focused therapies, all informed by a culturally sensitive lens. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, family or relationship issues, I’m here to help and support you.
We all need help sometimes. I believe in the power of empathy, insight, and human connection—and I’m passionate about working together with you into achieve healing, confidence, and growth.
If you’d like to schedule a consultation call to talk about your concerns and see if I might be a good match, follow the link to my Headway website to get started.
