I'm so glad you're taking this step to prioritize your mental health—it's the foundation of everything else in life. As a mother of three young adults, including boy-girl twins and a neurodivergent daughter, and with experience as a psychologist, coach, and leader in both tech and education, I bring a wide range of lived experience to my work. I work with individuals and families at all stages of life, helping them release outdated mindsets and adopt empowering new ones by uncovering the root causes, patterns, and obstacles that hold them back. My approach integrates neuroscience, cognitive psychology, positive psychology, and depth psychology, always focusing on creating meaningful connections that unlock new possibilities. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Instead, I hold an unwavering belief in each person’s boundless potential. By focusing on what truly matters, we can always transform challenges into opportunities.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
PLEASE NOTE: COMPLETE THE INTAKE FORM BEFORE OUR FIRST SESSION. In our first session, you'll share as much as you're comfortable with about why you're seeking therapy, so I can better understand your goals for our work together. It's also an opportunity for you to ask any initial questions about my approach and what to expect.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Creating a space where people feel comfortable sharing openly, trusting that I truly see and hear them with compassion, genuine interest, and a deep commitment to their well-being and joyful journey ahead.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Interpersonal
I use Interpersonal therapeutic techniques to help people focus on their relationships and social interactions to understand themselves better. Recognizing and Understanding our patterns within our relationships is a good way to understand ourselves.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a very common approach to help people see how their thoughts, emotions and behaviors (actions) are intertwined. By looking at the interconnectedness of these areas, we can understand the drivers behind behaviors you'd like to change.
Positive Psychology
Everyone has strengths. This approach focuses on those strengths and uses them as a central area of focus to help shift the areas of your life that you want to change.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy helps people look back on their past in order to inform the present.
