Great to meet you!

Feeling misunderstood is a huge barrier to treatment. I understand this concern all too well. If you’re feeling skeptical about psychotherapy or worried about what others may think, let’s talk about it. I want to clarify the process of psychotherapy and help you learn how it can benefit you.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 8 years of experience working in a variety of capacities in the mental health field.

My approach to therapy

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is highly effective for resolving distorted thinking and behaviors. As the therapeutic relationship is formed, I will be able to customize your treatment to target symptoms of anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma and help you to build specific skills for coping. And for couples in particular, we may utilize the IMAGO, Emotionally Focused and the Gottman Method to help resolve communication and intimacy issues in your partnerships.

What you can expect from me

An unhealthy mental state can lead to problems in relationships, career, and even spirituality. Give yourself an opportunity to become the best version of you. With the skills you gain in therapy, you will be better prepared to cope with distress and communicate more effectively to have better connections and increased intimacy. I look forward to supporting your healing and transformation.
