Guiding Principles

I am here to help you find your path to healing and connection.

My work centers on the belief that connection is a powerful part of healing. Therapy itself can be a meaningful source of that connection- a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported.

Therapy is a collaborative process that reflects your unique needs.

Together, we work to understand your experiences, identify your goals, and develop a treatment plan that is effective and meaningful.

I believe in treatments that are science-based and effective.

Effective therapy combines research-based approaches with a thoughtful understanding of your unique needs and background. My goal is to provide care that is both compassionate and driven by science to support meaningful, lasting change.

About Me

I am a licensed psychologist with over 2 decades of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across a range of clinical settings. My approach integrates evidence-based treatments with a flexible, individualized perspective that honors each person’s unique story, values, and goals.

I am committed to creating a safe, respectful, and affirming space where you feel seen, supported, and understood. Therapy is hard work- and it can also be transformative when grounded in both compassion and science.

My hope is that this work helps you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in navigating life’s challenges, and more able to move toward what matters most to you.
