If you’re carrying trauma, anxiety, or depression, you’ve found a warm and steady place to start. I’m a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and mindfulness has been a deeply important part of my own life and my work for nearly 30 years. Over the years, I’ve completed intensive meditation training in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the United States, experiences that have profoundly shaped how I understand healing, presence, and the connection between mind and body. I’d be honored to bring all of that to you.

It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m a psychologist who believes therapy should be a safe space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, so I strive to create a warm, collaborative environment where you can show up as you are. Whether you’re navigating a difficult season, feeling stuck, or hoping to better understand yourself and your relationships, we can work together toward meaningful and sustainable change. Whatever your circumstances, balancing your own needs while caring for others—including the people you love most—can be difficult. Therapy can be a place where there is room for you, too.
