About My Clients
I work with adolescents and adults who may appear outwardly accomplished yet struggle inwardly with anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, trauma, or disordered eating. Many of my clients are thoughtful, hardworking, and deeply motivated, but long for relief from distress or greater clarity about themselves and their lives. Together, we create a compassionate, collaborative space to explore your challenges, connect with your values, and move toward more authentic and fulfilling ways of living.
My Background and Approach
I’m a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience across academic medical centers, universities, and private practice. At the heart of my work is the belief that therapy is both a space for healing and a process of self-discovery. I integrate evidence-based approaches—including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness—with relational and psychodynamic principles. This allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals, whether you’re navigating identity questions, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. Clients often describe my style as warm, collaborative, and thoughtful, with a balance of evidence-based tools and compassionate presence.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy should be a space where every part of you feels seen, respected, and welcomed. My practice is guided by cultural humility, inclusivity, and a deep respect for the courage it takes to seek help. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, openness, and genuine collaboration, where you can explore your story without fear of judgment. I see challenges not as flaws but as opportunities for growth and deeper self-understanding. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time in nature—passions that reflect the curiosity and authenticity I bring into therapy. Above all, I want our work together to help you move toward a more grounded, meaningful, and connected life.
