Great to meet you!

Hello there. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and started my career working with couples and families and realized my passion was with empowering women who have experienced forms of trauma at any age. My knowledge from experience, along with my education, has allowed me to offer a deeper level of empathy with clients as I help guide them through their therapy journey.

My approach to therapy

I customize the approach for every client by meeting them where they are at and listening to their current narratives. I am more aligned with Collaborative Theory and utilize Narrative and Solution Focused Approach, as well. I integrate techniques such as mindfulness, self-compassion, and self-empowerment. While exploring the chapters of their life to uncover and highlight their strengths and newfound coping tools this encourages a shift in focus of their stories from pain to empowerment.

What you can expect from me

I will work with clients to set their attainable goals to move forward with their life in the way that fits best for them. I help by exploring the challenges that brought them to therapy and collaboratively formulate tools they can practice and integrate into their lives. I believe by giving the space to process ones inner most feelings this can aid in connecting with the answers everyone has for themselves.
