Great to meet you!

I've been a therapist for over 7 years. My Bachelor's in Psychology and Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy gave me a foundation working with people across the lifespan — children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I'm trained in evidence-based practices, but I always keep in mind that everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for another.

My approach to therapy

I believe the most meaningful work starts with building a genuine relationship with my clients. I show up fully as myself so you can feel safe doing the same- all are welcome in my office! We’ll have honest conversations to help you gain clarity about yourself and move toward the life you want, using client-centered, evidence-based practices along the way.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a relaxed space where I focus on really getting to you know you and the reasons you are seeking therapy. More importantly, I want you to leave our session feeling like someone truly understands you, like you got some weight off your shoulders, and feeling hopeful in being able to achieve your goals.
