As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, my therapy and coaching styles are warm, collaborative, empathic and direct. I specialize in working with motivated adults who are outwardly successful, yet inwardly experience challenges with self image, work, mood, relationships, leadership, communication, life circumstances and transitions. I help clients to engage in their lives more fully instead of avoiding, distracting and numbing and to capitalize on what is already going well. We do this by improving insight and agency, acquiring new skills and creating more adaptive patterns, habits and mindsets.

The work I do is effective for those suffering from issues such as changes in their health or the health of a loved one, family distress, bereavement or loss of independence.

Seeking therapy is a big step and can be scary. My aim is to connect with you in a safe environment and work with you to improve your life.

Based on training and life experience, I take a whole person view working to connect mind, body, and spirit.

I get it, reaching out for help can feel intimidating and confusing. That is why I work to make people feel comfortable and accepted.

I have worked with both adults and children with a range of diagnoses including, autism, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management, ODD, ADHD, emotional regulation, grief, life transitions, and self esteem issues. I believe that people are more then their diagnosis and that our mistakes do not define us, but are opportunities for growth.

HI! Welcome to my profile and congratulations on taking the first step towards a new journey. It is never too late to consider and/or begin therapy. I am a firm believer that we are not meant to figure out this rollercoaster of a life alone. Each and everyday is a new opportunity to learn and improve. It is not always easy to turn to our friends and loved ones about the daily stressors that we navigate. However, as your future therapist, I will provide the safe space for you to detail matters that mean the most to you.

I love supporting folks on their journey of self-realization, self-acceptance, and self-love. Life is hard. We aren't designed to do it alone.

My goal is to provide guidance, education and coaching to restore optimal physical health and emotional well being.
