Introduction

I'm a licensed psychologist with over seven years of experience across inpatient, outpatient, forensic, and community-based settings. I'm PSYPACT authorized for telepsychology across states, and have specialized training in severe mental illness, substance use, and psychological assessment. My clients are adults who feel overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift. They need therapy that feels steady, direct, and grounded, not surface-level or performative. They want clarity, emotional regulation, and a better understanding of themselves, especially if past diagnoses or treatments never fully fit. They’re seeking real therapy that helps them feel more in control, more understood, and less alone in what they’re carrying.
