Hello! I’m a licensed psychologist who combines clinical expertise with real-world business experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles with clarity and confidence. Do Sundays feel heavy with dread about Monday’s demands? Are you managing high expectations at work while quietly battling intense stress, anxiety, or low mood at home? When performance is high but emotional reserves are low, it can feel exhausting and isolating. What might change if you felt steadier, clearer, and more in control? Even exploring support today is a meaningful first step. Taking that step isn’t easy, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. I would be honored to help you move beyond patterns that keep you stuck. I use evidence-based CBT to treat anxiety and depression with a structured, measurable, collaborative approach. Together, we’ll work in a supportive, practical way to reduce distress and help you function at your best—both professionally and personally.
