I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience, and work with individuals, couples and families. My background includes extensive work in residential treatment settings, supporting individuals with both substance use disorders and a wide range of mental health concerns. For the past seven years, I have been in private practice, where I provide individualized, depth-oriented therapy.
My clinical training includes EMDR, somatic-focused approaches, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I work from an attachment-based perspective and believe that healing occurs within the safety of a strong therapeutic relationship. Relationship, attunement, and emotional safety are foundational to my work, and coping skills and practical guidance are offered within the context of connection and collaboration.
The first session is primarily guided by the client and focused on what feels most important for you to share. I am always open to questions or concerns about my background, training, or approach; however, initial sessions are typically centered on understanding your experiences, values, and goals. This allows me to develop a thoughtful framework of who you are, what matters most to you, and where you hope to go in therapy. As our work continues, sessions become more process-oriented, deepening insight and supporting meaningful change within the context of our therapeutic relationship.
