Great to meet you!

With 17 years of experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, children, adolescents and children to help navigate life's transitions, stressors, and relational challenges.

My approach to therapy

I tailor therapy to each client, using a variety of approaches to meet you where you are.

What you can expect from me

Our first session includes getting background information, explaining the therapeutic process, working on building rapport and what you are wanting to work on in therapy. My main goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for this journey of healing to begin!
