“Experienced and compassionate health psychologist specializing in mental and health conditions using proven psychological therapies.”

About Me

I am a health psychologist dedicated to creating a supportive and collaborative space for individuals facing mental and health-related challenges. My approach centers on working together to understand your experiences, strengthen your coping strategies, and promote meaningful improvements in daily life. Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I will help you uncover what feels most relevant and empowering for them. If you are looking for a compassionate professional in navigating your health journey and building lasting resilience, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Approach

Sessions move at a pace you set, blending practical skills, mindful attention, and targeted processing to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. I offer focused work that includes clear between-session plans and gentle homework to reinforce change. Together we track small shifts, troubleshoot barriers, and adapt strategies so therapy fits your life. People coping with chronic health challenges, mood struggles, or trauma often find this structured, collaborative approach helpful.

Services

I specialize in helping adolescents and adults navigate the intersection of mental and physical health, with a focus on anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, addictions, phobias, and emotionally driven health concerns. My clinical work often supports individuals coping with anxiety, compulsive behaviors, fears, trauma, and medical challenges. I draw on empirically supported approaches, including EMDR, CBT, ACT, and mind–body strategies. My goal is to provide a compassionate, growth-oriented space where clients can understand their experiences, strengthen resilience, and build healthier ways of living.
