I invite you to begin the journey toward a fuller, more meaningful life.
Life is complex and often difficult—far beyond what a diagnosis can capture. Every journey is unique, and true healing begins with understanding the whole person.
My approach integrates a holistic care model that attends to your mental, emotional, and physical health, your relationships, and your environment. Together, we create a comprehensive understanding of your wants, needs, values, and goals.
I am a fellow traveler, partnering with you to teach and practice the tools you need to help yourself and build the meaningful life you deserve—all while honoring your unique story and strengths.
As an extensively trained and experienced psychologist, therapist, educator, and coach, I bring a wealth of expertise to our work together. Yet—most importantly—I am a human deeply devoted to the gift of helping others along their way.

I believe that therapy works best in a collaborative process that uses evidence-based techniques and a mindfulness-based approach to foster authentic growth and transformation. Drawing from my expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing (MI), I guide individuals toward meaningful change by aligning behaviors with their deeply held values. Together, we cultivate a willingness to make contact with the present moment and engage in deep inquiry—helping you take intentional action to create a life that attends to what matters most to you, that feels important, and embraces the full spectrum of life.

A comprehensive, whole-person approach to mental health and wellness, integrating physical activity, sleep, and nutrition to promote optimal outcomes and lasting well-being.
Therapy is a sacred space for healing and growth—as well as navigating the uncomfortable and painful moments in between. It is a deeply personal journey and the forming of a unique relationship unlike any other you'll experience. Progress in emotional and mental health can sometimes feel difficult to measure due to its subjective nature. Moreover, addressing root causes—rather than merely alleviating symptoms—often requires patience and does not always yield overnight solutions.
That said, individuals, couples, and families seeking care have the right to expect the highest standard of professional services and meaningful outcomes. Too often in behavioral health, patients are not provided with adequate tools and actionable insights early enough to make a tangible difference. That's why my approach to psychotherapy is active, engaging, and focused on equipping you with experiential practices and tools that foster meaningful change. I balance the essential need for creating space—to listen, reflect, and understand—with the delivery of practical tools and techniques that foster committed action. Between-session work and active participation are central to the process, ensuring that our work together is transformative and effective.
Integrating the entire family system into the healing process to foster meaningful and lasting change. Specializing in family dynamics related to substance use, mood disorders, and complex histories of mental health conditions.
Providing customized strategies to address 'failure to launch' challenges and help young adults thrive. With a modern approach tailored to the unique needs of the 'anxious generation', I specialize in supporting emerging adults (ages 18-25) as they navigate issues such as substance use, anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, feeling "stuck", and more.
During the toughest moments in your or your family’s life, you deserve to be met with compassion and expertise. The concierge crisis and intervention services provide short-term solutions to de-escalate critical issues and guide individuals toward appropriate care, such as inpatient or residential facilities for severe substance use or behavioral health concerns. Navigating our fragmented healthcare system can be overwhelming and a significant barrier to effective care and positive outcomes. With an expert guide by your side, you can confidently take the steps to discover the right combination of care tailored to you or your family member's unique needs.
You don’t need to be experiencing acute distress to benefit from support. My coaching services are designed for individuals who want to make meaningful changes or foster personal growth—whether in career, relationships, marriage, parenthood, or overall quality of life.
Without focusing on a diagnosis or specific mental health symptoms, I will partner with you to create goals that align with your values and priorities. Through a thorough assessment of your strengths and areas for growth, we will develop a personalized game plan tailored to your unique targets. Together, we’ll work on the strategies and tools you need to achieve your goals and create the life you envision.
