About OceanWise Psychological Services
I’m Here to Help
We offer professional and psychological support.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in negative patterns, or struggling to manage emotions, you’re not alone. Anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges can feel isolating, but you don’t have to face them on your own. I understand how difficult it is when every day feels like a battle, and nothing seems to help.
These struggles take a toll on every aspect of life, personal relationships, work performance, and self-confidence. They can lead to exhaustion, hopelessness, and the feeling of being trapped in a never-ending battle with your emotions.

My Journey as a Therapist
Your Path to Healing
As a Doctor of Clinical Psychology and Board Certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP), I have over 12 years of experience helping individuals overcome anxiety, trauma, and high-stress challenges. My approach is grounded in evidence-based methods such as CBT, CPT, CBT-I, and trauma-informed therapy, ensuring that each client receives personalized care for long-term healing.
With specialized training in PTSD and trauma, including experience working with survivors of sexual trauma and individuals in high-pressure environments, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive space for healing. Therapy is about more than addressing problems; it’s about rediscovering your strengths, building resilience, and creating a more balanced, fulfilling life. Together, we’ll create a therapy plan tailored to your needs, helping you move forward with confidence.

Mission & Philosophies
Healing Through Evidence-Based Care
I believe in using proven, evidence-backed therapies like CBT, CPT, and trauma-informed care to help individuals break free from anxiety, trauma, and emotional distress. Every treatment plan is personalized to ensure effective, lasting healing.
A Safe & Supportive Space for Growth

Empowering You to Take Control
True healing is more than just symptom relief, it’s about equipping you with the tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. My goal is to help you rediscover your strengths, improve your relationships, and create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

What You Can Count On
I believe every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and understood. When you step into therapy with me, you step into a space where your story matters, your feelings are honored, and your growth is the priority.
Confidentiality, cultural humility, and emotional safety are the cornerstones of my practice. Your trust is sacred, and your experiences will always be treated with the deepest care and professionalism.
I am committed to my own lifelong learning, both professionally and personally, to better serve you. It’s a privilege to be part of someone’s healing, and I show up for that responsibility with heart, integrity, hope and humor!
