Great to meet you!

As a licensed therapist with both an MSW and a PhD in clinical practice and research, I bring a depth of academic knowledge and real-world experience to my work with individuals and couples. My approach is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based strategies tailored to meet each client’s unique needs.

I specialize in helping people navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, emotional resilience, and self-exploration. Whether you're seeking personal growth or looking to strengthen your connection with a partner, my goal is to create a safe, affirming space where meaningful insight and change can emerge.

My approach to therapy

I work with you as an active partner in exploring the patterns that shape your life, and uncovering practical, sustainable solutions.

Together, we’ll identify strengths, untangle challenges, and build new ways forward—grounded in respect, trust, and the belief that meaningful change is always possible.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you are seen, heard, and understood. I prioritize creating an atmosphere of trust, warmth, and emotional safety—where vulnerability is met with respect and where growth can unfold at your pace.

My approach is collaborative and grounded in practical outcomes. Together, we’ll clarify what matters most to you, and set goals that reflect your personal values and relational needs. Whether we’re addressing individual concerns or dynamics within your relationship, our work will focus on deepening insight, strengthening communication, and building emotional resilience.

Clients often leave sessions with:

  • Greater clarity and self-awareness
  • Improved emotional regulation and coping skills
  • Tools for more authentic and effective communication
  • Deeper understanding of relational patterns and how to shift them
  • A renewed sense of agency and alignment with life goals

Our work isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about sustainable, meaningful change. I’ll help you uncover what’s beneath the surface, stay curious about your emotional world, and identify actionable steps that lead to transformation and healing.
