(she/her)
I’m a licensed psychologist who works with clients navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have particular experience supporting people in midlife, including perimenopause and aging-related changes, as well as high-achieving professionals and healthcare workers facing chronic stress. My approach is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you create meaningful, lasting change. I work with teens (ages 12 and up), adults and older adults and provide individual, couples and family therapy.
In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping will feel different in your life, and any questions you have about the process. I’ll ask some background questions to better understand your experiences, and together we’ll begin identifying goals and possible next steps. Many clients find the first session helpful for gaining clarity on the goals that we can work on together.
One of my greatest strengths is balancing insight with practical strategies. I help clients understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck while also providing tools they can use right away to reduce distress and improve coping. I draw from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and interpersonal therapy, tailoring treatment to each person’s needs.
I work best with clients who are motivated for change and looking for a collaborative therapist. Many of my clients are experiencing anxiety, burnout, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, or major life transitions. I often work with individuals in midlife, professionals and healthcare workers under chronic stress, couples seeking to improve communication, and people adjusting to aging or identity shifts. Clients who are open to reflection and willing to try new strategies tend to benefit most from our work together.
