I believe mental health care should feel safe, supportive, and judgment-free. My approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic, with a focus on treating the whole person rather than just symptoms. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, mood concerns, burnout, trauma-related challenges, and life transitions, and I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

Psychologist

I have a double Master's and a Doctoral degree in psychology. I began my graduate study In NYC in 2006 doing research and clinical work in attachment theory both with young children and adults. It was there that I witnessed the impact of early and adult attachments. I have trained and worked in a variety of settings and each time I witnessed the fundamental human need of a secure, responsive and safe connection and the impact of isolation and trauma.
