About Me

I provide person-centered, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed and strength-based, insight-oriented psychotherapy. My approach integrates evidence-based modalities including ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and DBT informed approaches.

I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, adults, and elderly adults navigating life transitions. My prior focus on children has enhanced my ability to support parents as well. I offer particular expertise in neurodivergent spectrum care, complex pregnancy and postpartum support (deepened by my personal motherhood experience), and helping adults navigate life transitions and grief.
