Connection, Above All Else

If you can’t feel safe to be yourself with your psychologist, where can you feel safe? Therapy requires trust. Building trust can be hard, but my goal is to cultivate trust quickly based on mutual respect, shared experiences, and humor. 


Evidence-Based Therapy, Tailored for You

Therapy works best when it’s backed by science and customized to your needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques that are proven to help. I specialize in meeting you where you are AND giving you the skills to make lasting changes in your life, rooted in science.  I incorporate wisdom-based, holistic practices into treatment, as well!

A Psychologist Who Walks the Walk

Being a psychologist means living by the same interventions that I share in sessions. I strive to live an intentional, value-driven life rooted in kindness and connection. Leading by example is necessary. I'd love to share my wisdom with you.
