Welcome!

Finding the right therapist—someone who truly understands and can effectively address your unique challenges—makes all the difference. Maybe anxiety feels overwhelming, intrusive thoughts keep you stuck, or chronic pain limits your enjoyment of life. Perhaps you’ve tried therapy before, felt supported, but found yourself spinning your wheels without real progress. You’re not alone, and things can get better. Together, we’ll set clear, meaningful goals and develop practical strategies that help you move toward a more fulfilling, joyful life.

I offer flexible, goal-focused therapy that incorporates evidence-based approaches tailored specifically to your needs. Together, we’ll explore your experiences with fear, anxiety, or pain, gaining clarity on how your symptoms started and why they’re sticking around. Our work will focus on not only learning practical skills, but also transforming your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in meaningful ways. My goal is to empower you with effective tools and lasting change, so you feel prepared, capable, and optimistic about your life.

It’s great to meet you!

A Psychologist’s Open-Minded First Take on AI Therapy

This week, Slingshot unveiled its new AI therapy tool, Ash, describing it as the “first AI designed for therapy.” As a psychologist who provides therapy, supervises students, and researches psychological treatments, I care deeply about what makes therapy work. That passion brings mixed feelings about AI therapy: curiosity, hope, skepticism, and if I’m honest, a
