Introduction

I’ve always been curious about people and the stories that shape who we become. That curiosity led me to psychology, where I have the privilege of helping young people and families better understand their challenges and discover possibilities for growth. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist providing evidence-based psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and young adults ages 2–22. My clinical experience spans pediatric hospitals, schools, and outpatient clinics, including specialized training in infant mental health and pediatric psychology. This background shapes my approach- looking beyond symptoms and behaviors to understand each person through their development, relationships, health, and environment. I support youth navigating anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral concerns, ADHD-related difficulties, school challenges, and life stressors. I also support young people with complex medical conditions, chronic pain, and developmental differences. When appropriate, I involve parents and caregivers to support progress beyond the therapy room. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I aim to help young people and families develop practical skills, build confidence, and move forward with a greater sense of understanding and possibility. No single chapter defines the whole story. My goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized support as your story continues to unfold.
