About My Clients

I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, burnout, and chronic stress. Many of my clients are self-aware, yet still feel stuck or disconnected from their bodies, and haven’t found lasting change through insight alone. Using somatic and integrative approaches, I help you slow down, reconnect with your body, and move forward with greater ease and self-trust. My work is neurodivergence-affirming, working with your brain, not forcing it.

My Background and Approach

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over 13 years of experience. I provide therapy for adults, couples and families, as well as ADHD evaluations for adults, including women and high-masking individuals. My approach blends deep insight with practical tools to help you feel more grounded, connected, and aligned with your values and your body. I work relationally and collaboratively, drawing from evidence-based practices, nervous system science, and deep respect for each person’s lived experience. Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and intuitive. I value honesty, humor, and the courage it takes to look inward. Whether you’re just beginning to notice what’s no longer working, or you’re self-aware and feel stuck, I’ll meet you where you are and support meaningful, sustainable change. I pace therapy to honor your capacity, rather than pushing change before it’s accessible. I offer a complimentary 15 minute consultation so we can connect and see if working together feels right.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

For much of my career, I worked closely with incarcerated individuals living with severe mental illness, an underserved and often overlooked population with limited access to meaningful care. That work deeply shaped how I practice today and reinforced my belief in compassion, dignity, and nonjudgment in mental health care. I also believe that individuals do not exist in a vacuum. We are shaped by the systems, relationships, and expectations we live within, and sometimes the work isn’t about fixing yourself, but naming and validating what isn’t working around you. Healing can begin when distress is understood in context, not pathologized. I believe people are doing the best they can with the tools they have, and that healing begins when we feel safe enough to slow down, look inward, and choose something new. My approach is rooted in curiosity, self-trust, and helping people reconnect with themselves.
