Great to meet you!

I am dual licensed as both a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Clinical Psychologist. I graduated from both programs Summa Cum Laude. I operate from a relational and interpersonal modality where you can be safe and empathically heard. My clients tend to be those in a developmental stage of change (college students, midlife challenges, loss of relationship).

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy with a collaborative team approach where you are empowered to make decisions benefitting you while supported in a warm and loving atmosphere.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to improve in the telling of their own story so it is more healthy and supportive of growth and change. People get stuck in their own heads and hearts, and can improve with the right therapeutic partner!
