Intro

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 11 years of experience supporting adults, particularly older adults, through life’s challenges and transitions. I am known for building warm, trusting therapeutic relationships where clients feel heard and supported. My work includes helping individuals cope with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, adjustment concerns, and relationship challenges. I strive to help people maximize their quality of life and live as fully and meaningfully as possible, whatever their circumstances may be.

How would you describe your approach to care?

My approach to care is collaborative, compassionate, and strength-focused. I believe meaningful therapy begins with a trusting relationship in which clients feel safe, respected, and understood. I work to identify and build upon the strengths individuals already possess while helping them navigate life challenges, transitions, and emotional concerns. Together, we focus on developing insight, resilience, and coping strategies that support healing, growth, and an improved quality of life, even during difficult seasons.

What should be expected in the first session?

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know one another and creating a comfortable, supportive space for you. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to gain, and any questions or concerns you may have. I’ll also explain the therapy process and what you can expect moving forward. There is no pressure to share more than you feel ready to—we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, with the goal of helping you feel heard, supported, and hopeful from the start.
