Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals, sensitive and self-critical adults, or young men who are struggling to feel confident, connected, or understood. Others are working through perfectionism, burnout, or a painful relationship with food and body image. You don't have to face this alone. In addition to my clinical practice, I consult with organizations on mental health, burnout, and emotional resilience. I bring over a decade of experience and training—including AEDP, EMDR, and mindfulness-based approaches—and offer therapy that blends depth, safety, and real movement toward change.
I’m a PhD-level licensed psychologist offering therapy for adults and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, disordered eating, body image concerns, and identity development. My style is warm, collaborative, and emotionally engaged. I specialize in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)—a powerful, research-informed model that helps people.
Let’s work together to help you feel more connected—to yourself, your body, and your relationships. You’ve already taken a courageous step by seeking help. I offer both in-person and online appointments.

I use primarily AEDP as a treatment modality. AEDP is a transformative approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes healing through accessing and processing emotions in a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. We will work together to explore your emotional experiences, cultivate resilience, and foster your innate capacity for healing and growth.
