Overview

"Insight begins with awareness. Healing begins with understanding." Licensed psychologist with 23 years of clinical experience. I offer psychotherapy for adults, specializing in panic disorder, grief, anxiety, and depression. Supporting emotional regulation, adaptive coping and meaningful connection across the lifespan. My approach blends Cognitive-Behavioral and Supportive therapies, with attention to how physical health, personal beliefs, communication styles, and social environments shape emotional well-being. Together, we build awareness of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Empowering you to develop coping strategies that ease distress, honor your strengths and support your goals. For over two decades, I've walked alongside individuals through life's most overwhelming moments. Whether you're experiencing the intense fear and physical symptoms of panic, navigating the heartbreak of loss, or seeking greater emotional balance, I offer a steady, compassionate space where healing can begin.
