You're holding it together on the outside, managing relationships, work, family, or the demands of daily life, but something feels off inside. As a clinical psychologist, I work with adults navigating some of life's most demanding transitions. I can help you get to the root of your issues, build genuine insight, and reconnect with your motivation and sense of self so you can move forward in a way that actually lasts. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, stress, and relationship concerns. I also specialize in new parents, IVF/fertility treatment, postpartum depression and anxiety, and perimenopause.
My approach is active and engaged, I don't sit back and nod. I offer real feedback, practical tools, and honest guidance while creating a warm, non-judgmental space. Together we can go beyond just managing symptoms and get underneath them to better understand what drives your patterns and build the skills and self-awareness to make meaningful changes.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine, collaborative partnership built on trust & empathy, and focused on where you actually want to go. I offer both in-person & virtual therapy and welcome your call or email to see if I'm a good fit. If not, I also work alongside a talented team of therapists at Birchwood Clinic who share my approach.
