Whether you've never tried therapy before or are considering getting back into it, give yourself a pat on the back for taking this first step! I know how hard it can be to prioritize your own mental health, especially when life gets hectic. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I believe in meeting my clients where they're at and providing them a space each week where they can feel heard, understood, and cared for. I believe therapy shouldn't feel like another chore on your to-do list. It should feel like the "me time" you need (and deserve!) to set down the weight of everything you've been carrying so that you can start feeling like yourself again. Whether you're in the middle of a difficult time or grappling with a past that is holding you back, I will be there with you every step of the way to help get you "unstuck" and back to the life you want to be living.

My therapeutic style is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. You are the expert in your own experience, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you gain insight into your patterns, your pain, and your potential for growth. I specialize in helping people heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation using a blend of evidence-based and compassionate approaches. My work integrates EMDR, IFS, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness practices - all grounded in a trauma-informed, client-centered foundation. You don't have to navigate this alone. My goal is to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can learn, reflect, grow, and begin to alleviate emotional suffering at a pace that feels right for you.

My goal as an international psychologist and clinical social worker is to create safe and empowering spaces for clients by providing culturally intelligent and evidenced-based modalities to a diverse- client population who experience mental health and systemic- issues that may seem universal but are experienced in unique ways.
