Introduction

I'm passionate about supporting people through life's most challenging moments—whether that's navigating anxiety and depression, healing from trauma, or working through difficult transitions. I work with individuals across the lifespan, from toddlers and children through elders, and I'm skilled at meeting each person where they are. My approach draws on multiple evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused work, and attachment-based techniques, tailored to what resonates with you. I also integrate mindfulness, strength-based practice, and person-centered care to create a safe, compassionate space for real change. I'm currently accepting new clients and offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. I work with most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and others, as well as out-of-pocket options. I'm here to help you move toward healing and resilience.
