My work is grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own life — my role is to bring clinical expertise, genuine presence, and honest collaboration to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for both adolescents and adults, and I draw from an integrative foundation that also incorporates mindfulness-based strategies and self-compassion practices. Treatment is never one-size-fits-all; I tailor each course of care to the individual sitting across from me, using evidence-based methods that are flexible enough to meet you where you are. Therapy with me is active and collaborative, not something done to you. While empirical evidence guides my clinical decision-making, I firmly believe that the relationship between therapist and client is paramount to achieving lasting change. That's why I aim to create a space of real emotional safety — one where I listen closely, respond honestly, and build the kind of genuine connectedness that makes difficult work possible.
