Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adults, couples, veterans, first responders, and young adults. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, relationship concerns, emotional patterns, and life transitions. My work is experiential and focused on helping clients create deeper, lasting change rather than only managing symptoms.

My approach to therapy

My approach is active, collaborative, and experiential. I draw from Emotion-Focused Therapy, Coherence Therapy, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing-informed work, and Internal Family Systems. Together, we explore the emotional and relational patterns beneath your symptoms so that change can happen at a deeper level.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we will talk about what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and what may be keeping you stuck. I aim to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you can be open without feeling rushed. We will begin identifying important emotional patterns and develop a clear direction for our work together.
