I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD in Marital and Family Therapy, and I work with couples, individuals, and families. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief, but also about helping you feel more connected to yourself and the important relationships in your life. I strive to create a warm, thoughtful, and culturally responsive space where you can explore patterns with curiosity rather than judgment.
My approach to therapy is relational, experiential, and collaborative. Together, we will slow down and better understand the emotional patterns, protective strategies, and relational dynamics that may be keeping you stuck. I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Satir, and narrative approaches, while tailoring the work to your unique needs, relationships, and cultural context. I value authenticity, emotional depth, and creating a space where you can feel both genuinely supported and meaningfully challenged.
In our first session, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where we begin exploring what is bringing you to therapy and what you hope might feel different in your life or relationships. I tend to focus not only on symptoms, but also on the underlying emotional and relational patterns connected to those experiences. Together, we will collaboratively develop goals that feel meaningful and realistic for you. My hope is that you leave the first session feeling understood, grounded, and a little less alone in what you are carrying.
