I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who has worked in a variety of outpatient and inpatient mental health settings. I specialize in treating adolescents and adults who are dealing with a range of concerns, from depression or anxiety, trauma, or even difficulties in adapting to changes in everyday life.

My therapeutic approach is integrative in nature and I strive to meet my clients’ individual needs as appropriate. I believe a focus on self-compassion and personal strengths are helpful in building resilience and confidence, which contribute to overall mental health and progress toward meaningful goals. My therapeutic style is warm, nonjudgmental, and friendly. My goal is to help my clients understand they are not alone and there is always hope in moving forward. Life is a journey of continuous change which requires personal adaptation. Whether you are going through a transition, or you have ongoing concerns, therapy is a safe place to express emotions and develop a more meaningful and satisfactory experience out of life.

My focus is on cognitive behavioral therapy and complicated grief therapy. Sometimes we have to face our losses to be able to move forward, sometimes we have to confront our negative thoughts to clear our mind and focus on what is in front of us now. We try to cope with the world’s challenges based on the values and strengths we built during childhood, but there are many ways to rekindle our creativity and joy as adults to re imagine a new path. I am a compassionate listener who can hold a non- judgemental space for patients to share their beliefs, desires and concerns.
