My goal is to help you live a life that is fulfilling and meaningful to you.

Welcome! I am a licensed psychologist with 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. Whether you are dealing with stress, insomnia, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or other mental health concerns, my goal is to provide a supportive and compassionate environment where you can explore your feelings, gain insight, and develop strategies to move forward.

My approach combines an empathic and supportive style with active treatment that is informed by scientific findings. I have expertise in various evidence-based treatments for adults; my specific areas of specialization are trauma, anxiety, and insomnia. We will consider patterns in how you think, feel, and behave, and how shifting any of these can help you better reach your goals. I work with a diverse clinical population, including trauma, insomnia, mood disorders, anxiety, and relationship problems.

I am a licensed doctoral-level psychologist in Chapel Hill, N.C. For your convenience, my services are provided via telehealth. I am a licensed psychologist in North Carolina and all PSYPACT states.

I offer a professional and non-judgmental environment where I listen, ask questions, and strive to broaden our understanding of the underlying issues of distress and unhappiness. Through that understanding and enhanced level of insight, you will learn how to change patterns of thoughts and behaviors. My approach is cognitive-behavioral, which means that we will consider patterns in how you think, feel, and behave, and how shifting any of these can help you better reach your goals.

My work is empirically-informed and customized to the unique and diverse needs of my clients. My goal is to equip you with concrete skills you can use to enact meaningful change in your life.
