Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck in anxious loops, or struggling to find your footing? Are certain relationships weighing you down? You don't have to navigate life’s heavy seasons alone. Feeling lost, anxious, or emotionally drained can make everyday life feel exhausting—especially when you are trying to hold everything together on your own. I work with individuals ready to break free from anxious patterns, set clear boundaries, heal from past emotional hurts, and reclaim their confidence and identity. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly two decades of experience, I offer a compassionate space for you to gain clarity and build lasting resilience—whether you are working through individual stress, life transitions, or complex relationship dynamics. I am licensed in California, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, and Utah, and I also offer faith-based Christian counseling for clients who wish to integrate their spiritual beliefs into therapy. My practice is built on a warm, practical, and non-judgmental approach. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, know that change and healing are within reach. Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation to take the first step forward.

My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative, combining practical tools with grounded emotional insight. For individuals navigating anxiety, daily stress, or major life transitions, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and strength-based techniques to help reframe negative patterns and calm your nervous system. For those facing relationship challenges, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you interrupt painful argument cycles, rebuild trust, and restore intimacy. Ultimately, I view therapy as an active partnership—a supportive, down-to-earth space where we focus on actionable steps toward lasting change.

Creating a safe, comfortable environment where you feel understood is my top priority for our first meeting. We’ll take time to get to know each other, discuss what brought you to therapy, and explore the key challenges you’re facing. Rather than feeling like a formal intake, our time together will feel like a grounded, open conversation where we map out where you are and where you want to go. By the end of the session, you can expect to leave with a clearer sense of direction, practical initial goals, and a solid plan for working together toward lasting change.
