My mission is to guide individuals in processing their past, connecting it to their present, and empowering them to make positive changes for their future selves.

About Me
I foster a collaborative therapeutic environment, involving patients in treatment planning and goal-setting to create a positive and safe space. In addressing depression and anxiety, I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy, identifying root causes and providing coping skills, such as mindfulness and journaling, tailored to the patient’s needs. Empathy, care, and passion underscore my approach as I invest energy into each session, genuinely caring for those I assist. I provide comprehensive support, offering resources and ensuring a strong support system for my clients. My journey into psychotherapy stems from a lifelong passion for helping others, equipped with the necessary skills and empathy for this rewarding profession. My goal is to facilitate individuals in their journey toward becoming the best versions of themselves by validating their experiences, ensuring they feel heard, and creating a safe space.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Headlight accept insurance?
Yes, Headlight accepts most major insurances such as Aetna, Kaiser, Magellan, Anthem and more. To confirm we accept your insurance, please call 800-930-0803.
What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.

Do Headlight providers offer telehealth visits?
Absolutely, all our providers offer telehealth visits so that you can get care from the comfort of your own home.
Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
