I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I help individuals and couples manage anxiety, relationship challenges, and communication issues using evidence-based tools. My goal is to help you gain clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. My approach I use CBT, DBT, and the Gottman Method to help clients understand patterns, develop skills, and create meaningful change. Therapy is collaborative, paced to your needs, and focused on practical strategies that support growth and lasting progress. My focus I work with adults and couples navigating stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I help clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to express their needs build insight, confidence, and healthier ways of relating. My communication style I listen carefully, provide honest feedback, and share practical tools you can use outside of the session. Clients often describe me as calm, grounding, and approachable while keeping sessions focused and productive. My journey to mental healthcare Helping people navigate life’s challenges has been my calling since studying Psychology. I’ve supported youth, adults, and couples in schools, clinics, and telehealth, combining training and compassion to create meaningful change.
