Life can feel overwhelming at times—whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply navigating the challenges of daily life. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for you to explore your experiences and discover meaningful ways to heal and grow.

I work with adults and have extensive experience supporting individuals and families through depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. I also have a passion for working with neurodivergent clients, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.
My communication style
As a therapist, I use a warm, clear, and collaborative communication style. I focus on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. I practice active, compassionate listening and invite reflection to explore your experiences together.
My journey to mental healthcare
My path into the field of therapy grew from a deep curiosity about human resilience and a genuine desire to support others through life’s challenges. My life and work experiences have shown me how transformative the therapeutic process can be. I’m guided by the belief that every person holds the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change.

I view therapy as a collaborative partnership. We’ll work together to identify goals that feel meaningful to you—whether that involves strengthening relationships, building confidence, or navigating personal growth. Throughout our work, I’ll help you gain insight, develop new skills, and help you identify barriers that may be holding you back.
