As a clinical psychologist, I specialize in helping adults make positive changes in their lives. Through the use of CBT, ACT, and compassion-focused therapy, I can help you address a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome, work stress, challenges with dating, and challenges with wedding planning. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals and live a happier, more fulfilling life.

With over 12 years of clinical experience, I have helped many adults overcome a variety of challenges. Collaboratively, we will work to address thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and situations that keep you stuck, helping you to develop mental flexibility, achieve success, and reconnect with joy.

If you're struggling with difficult thoughts, feelings, or situations, know that you're not alone. As a compassionate and experienced professional, I'm here to help you navigate these challenges and find a path forward. Don't hesitate to reach out to me - together, we can work towards a happier, healthier you.
