Bio
A practice built around real change.
I'm a licensed psychologist and the founder of Empowered Mind. My work is depth-oriented, experiential, and emotionally focused — designed for people who understand themselves intellectually but still feel stuck in familiar patterns.
My work integrates AEDP, emotionally focused psychotherapy, somatic awareness, and Core Self Reclamation Therapy (CSRT) — an experiential approach developed by SueAnne Piliero that I trained in extensively and weave into an individualized therapeutic process. These approaches share a common thread: reaching the level where patterns actually live, not just where they're understood.
A significant part of my practice is with adults navigating midlife — the identity shifts, relational changes, and deeper questions of meaning that emerge in this phase. The work is always tailored to the individual, never structured around a fixed program.
I hold my Psy.D. and bring both clinical rigor and deep compassion to each client relationship. My approach is direct, warm, and committed to lasting change — not endless process.
