Do you feel overwhelmed and consumed by stressful life situations? I just may be your answer to relieving some of the emotional stress experienced as I specialize in providing individual therapy. Everyone has the right to feel emotionally healthy and live stress free. I believe this begins with giving yourself permission to address those emotions/behaviors that are disrupting your life. For some of my patients their treatment includes resolving issues from their past and moving forward. My style with patients is always collaborative, interactive and motivating. I use empathic and deep listening to HEAR my patients.
I use therapeutic approaches that are appropriate for each individual situation. I’m a culturally competent therapist who is passionate about helping you understand yourself, experiences, relationships and the world you live in. My therapeutic approach includes a combination of insight-oriented psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Of most importance to, me is working with you to achieve your goals through counseling session. I strive to meet you “where you are” and move you forward to heal, change and grow in positive ways. I provide counseling on a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, educational concerns, work and life balance.
Complex, confusing, & overwhelming, life tests our limits. While I am a realist about this, I am also a believer. I am willing to accept things as they are, yet I believe we have the fortitude to adjust & evolve as we move through the world. Being an athlete shaped this view & I want to share what I've learned about showing up authentically. With a background in neuroscience, I am also interested in identifying how blocks in functioning stem from prior trauma. We will connect the dots together!
I am a licensed psychologist with more than 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My background in both school psychology and clinical psychology has given me the opportunity to help people navigate a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, behavioral concerns, family and relationship difficulties, school-related issues, and major life transitions.
I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. At times, however, navigating challenges, life transitions, relationships, or emotional struggles can feel overwhelming, and having a supportive, objective person to talk to can make a meaningful difference.
My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, I am committed to helping you build insight, resilience, and confidence while working toward your personal goals.

I offer a safe, expressive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood.

You've overcome every challenge life has placed in your path. You've built a successful life, a meaningful career, and a reputation for being the person others can count on. From the outside, it looks like you have it all together—and in many ways, you do. But lately, something has changed. The things you used to manage with ease now feel overwhelming. Everyday responsibilities require more energy than they once did. You're exhausted from carrying so much, yet you keep showing up because that's what you've always done. You're not falling apart. You're the one holding it all together, but it's becoming harder to do it alone.
Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship challenges or the weight of trauma, I'm here to listen without judgement and equip you with coping skills. I believe that healing and profound personal change occurs within the safety and security of a non-judgemental, nurturing therapeutic relationship, which I provide when working with my clients on the path to healing and self empowerment.
I can help you. Starting the process of self discovery can be a difficult task, making life changes can be equally challenging. Whether it be love, work or another difficult circumstance, I can help you gather the necessary tools to make you a happier and healthier person. I accept several insurances and can assist you on out of network coverage if needed. You are welcome to call me for a consultation and start the process of healing
