Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in individual therapy for anxiety and relationship issues. Whether you’re struggling with communication, emotional disconnection, conflict, infidelity, breakups, or the challenges of dating, I help you gain clarity and move toward healthier, more fulfilling relationships. I offer individual therapy only,

My approach to therapy

My style is warm yet direct—you’ll feel supported while also being encouraged to face the patterns that hold you back. I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), psychodynamic insights, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you better understand yourself, heal from emotional injuries, and build stronger connections.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with me is collaborative and practical. Together, we’ll work on restoring emotional safety, rekindling intimacy, and helping you feel more confident in love and in life
