I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 15+ years as a clinical therapist. My goal is to create a healthy environment where you are supported to overcome life's challenges and reach your goals.

My therapy style is relational and warm, built on compassion, empathy, and a deep respect for your unique experiences. I believe every individual’s journey is different, so I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Structural and Psychodynamic Therapy, creating a personalized approach to fit your individual needs and goals.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to make changes and are seeking support to overcome emotional and psychological barriers. Whether you’re dealing with relationship difficulties, personal growth, mental health struggles, or past trauma, I help clients explore their challenges, process their feelings, develop coping skills, and work toward their goals. Together, we will build a treatment plan for a healthier, more balanced life.

I value open and honest communication. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. I encourage collaboration in our work together and invite you to share your thoughts and feedback freely. My approach is warm, compassionate, and client-centered, ensuring that you feel comfortable and supported at every step.
