Psychologist

My mission is to remind others that the strength to rise after a fall already lives within them. Throughout my own journey, I’ve experienced many setbacks—moments when getting back up felt out of reach, and failure felt final. But over time, each fall revealed a lesson, and each step forward brought growth, clarity, and resilience. I possess a diverse clinical foundation, supporting individuals with developmental disorders, autism spectrum disorder, mood and personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. I’ve been honored to serve in multiple therapeutic roles, offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy to those seeking healing and meaningful change.
