What's My Approach to Therapy?
My integrative approach combines psychology, neuroscience, and mindfulness to build resilience, emotional balance, and a deeper connection. I hold a PhD in clinical psychology with over 25 years of experience and have advanced training in neuropsychology, psychopharmacology, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. My approach is individualized to support lasting growth and well-being.
Life’s challenges can leave even the strongest among us feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. My goal as a psychologist is to create a space where you feel safe to explore what’s happening beneath the surface, a place to understand, heal, and grow.
I specialize in helping teens, adults, and professionals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and burnout through a compassionate, evidence-based approach. My work is grounded in clinical psychology, neuroscience, and mindfulness, helping clients reconnect with a sense of balance, purpose, and self-awareness.

I offer private-pay, confidential care for those who value privacy and a personalized approach. I view therapy as an integrative process - addressing the mind, body, and emotional self together.
Across our work, we help people move from overwhelm to clarity, from disconnection to steadiness, and from coping to growing.
Your time and emotional energy matter. A consultation is a chance to speak with a clinician, share what’s been challenging, and get a grounded sense of whether this is the right fit for you. No fees, no pressure to commit, just a real conversation. If it feels right, we’ll schedule your first session and begin with a clear plan that supports your goals at a pace that feels sustainable.
