Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Certified Sex Therapist with over 15 years of experience in private practice. I specialize in working with couples who feel stuck in recurring arguments, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward.

My approach is active and goal-oriented. I help clients understand the patterns driving their challenges and provide clear strategies they can use outside of session. Sessions are focused, collaborative, and practical.

My approach to therapy

My work is grounded in systemic and relational therapy. I take an active role in sessions, offering honest feedback and focused interventions. Therapy is structured and purposeful, with an emphasis on understanding patterns and creating sustainable change.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we clarify your concerns and identify the main patterns contributing to the problem. Together, we establish goals and begin working toward solutions right away.

This is therapy with direction—focused on progress, not just conversation.
