I bring 15 years of experience in medical, research, and nonprofit settings, including a decade at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the nation’s leading agency for mental health research. My care is warm, collaborative, rooted in an evidence-based process, and focused on lasting growth. I often work with clients who are navigating major life transitions, including inflection points in their careers, families, or relationships. If you’re ready to begin this work, I welcome the opportunity to support you.
