About My Clients

My approach is goal-driven and my clients are ready to find something that actually works. Many people report minimal progress or benefit in therapy when they simply review their week and are validated endlessly. While it feels great to always hear you’re right, that approach will not improve relationships or result in long-term benefit. My goal is to give you the insight, skills, and confidence to promote positive mental health for years to come.

My Background and Approach

I am a licensed clinical and school psychologist with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. My background includes work in treating anxiety, working with chronic illness, and helping parents gain confidence and feel less alone. I have significant training in perinatal mental health and have worked in a variety of mental health settings. I also have experience as a school psychologist and work with adolescents to build executive functioning skills and confidence in their abilities.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in equitable access to therapy and reserve 10% of my sessions for pro bono or reduced rate services. Now more than ever I believe it is important for us as humans to stand together and strengthen our communities. I support organizations that provide access to mental health care for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients. I also support organizations that provide free resources and support groups to those experiencing perinatal depression or mood disorders.
