Hi, I’m a licensed clinician committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, while also providing clinical and forensic evaluation services. My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.

Do you feel like your brain is constantly running on overdrive? Maybe you’re navigating the frustrating cycle of procrastination, intense anxiety about falling behind, and the sudden rage or emotional outbursts that follow. You might feel misunderstood, labeled "lazy" or "difficult," when in reality, you are holding it together with incredible effort. If you are tired of the anxiety-depression loop, you are in the right place. I help adolescents and adults move from feeling overwhelmed and reactive to empowered and focused.
