Bee creates safe, supportive relationships using CBT, narrative therapy, and coping tools to meet each person's unique goals and needs.

Through her master’s training in Marriage and Family Therapy and her doctoral program (PsyD) in Psychology, Bee developed a strong passion for working with adolescents and young adults. Bee fosters safe, collaborative, supportive therapeutic relationships and draws from a range of evidence-based modalities. She is deeply attuned to the significant life transitions, stressors, and identity-related challenges that often arise during these developmental stages. Her academic curiosity led her to focus her dissertation research on adolescent and young adult mental health. Bee’s professional goal is to pursue licensure as a psychologist and continue expanding her understanding of human behavior. She is committed to building strong, trusting therapeutic relationships and believes that emotional safety and support are foundational to meaningful progress in therapy. Bee works closely with each patient to ensure a good therapeutic fit and a shared understanding of treatment goals, incorporating coping skills, grounding strategies, and psychoeducation to support symptom management. Outside of work, Bee prioritizes her own well-being through morning runs, painting, and spending time with her pets.
