Feeling overwhelmed by relationship struggles, stuck in anxious thoughts, or carrying the weight of past hurts or big life transitions? You don't have to navigate it alone.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly two decades of experience, I help individuals work through relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Whether you're trying to break old patterns, process difficult emotions, or regain a sense of self within or outside of your relationships, we'll work together to uncover root causes and build sustainable, meaningful growth. 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.

In our first session, my main priority is creating a warm, relaxed space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported from the moment we begin. We’ll take time to get to know each other, discuss what brought you to therapy, and look at the key challenges you're facing. Rather than feeling like a formal intake, our initial session will feel like a grounded, open conversation where we can begin mapping out where you are and where you want to go. By the end of our time, you can expect to walk away with a clearer sense of direction, initial actionable goals, and a solid plan for how we’ll work together toward lasting change.
