About Me

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who believes therapy can be a place to feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported in making sense of your experience. I work with adults seeking both relief from distress and a deeper understanding of themselves. My style is warm, collaborative, and engaged. I listen closely to what is being said, as well as to experiences that may have been difficult to put into words.

I received my doctoral degree from an APA-accredited program and completed clinical training across medical, university, VA, community and private-practice settings. These experiences have allowed me to work with people across different stages of life and with a wide range of concerns.
I understand people through a developmental lens. The ways you cope, relate, and protect yourself did not develop without reason. They often emerged in response to early relationships, family and cultural expectations, painful experiences, or periods when you had to manage more than you could fully process.
Therapy offers space to understand these adaptations with compassion and to consider how they may now contribute to anxiety, self-doubt, disconnection, or recurring patterns. What once helped you cope can become part of how you understand yourself and relate to others. Together, we can explore where these patterns came from and consider new possibilities for how you want to move forward. 
My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can develop greater clarity about yourself, feel more connected to what matters to you, and move through life with greater choice and intention.
