I have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and 22 years experience treating a range of difficulties with clients from all walks of life. I've narrowed my practice over the years to working strictly with adults and couples. While my postdoctoral work was focused on mood and anxiety issues, I have both training and experience with relationship issues, binge eating conditions, work/school stress, grief, and Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAT).

Sometimes words don’t fully capture our experiences or do them justice. My journey into this work began with the discovery that art, music, movement, and other forms of creative expression can communicate the parts of ourselves that language alone cannot reach. These expressions are deeply human and can become powerful pathways to insight, healing, and connection.

With a background in behavioral health administration and years of experience leading programs for adults navigating serious mental health challenges, I bring a deep, practical understanding of how care works and what people truly need. My private practice centers on a niche I care about deeply: adolescents, young adults, and college students navigating anxiety, depression, and the challenges of growing up and moving forward. I offer telehealth sessions in the evenings and on weekends, so support fits into your life, not the other way around.
