Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, infertility, prenatal and postpartum mental health concerns, self-esteem issues, stress, life transitions, and much more. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, I provide a warm, supportive, and personalized space where you can feel heard and understood. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, tailored to your unique needs and goals. Together, we will build insight, strengthen coping skills, improve communication and relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change so you can feel more balanced, connected, and fulfilled in your life. Self-Pay Session Rates: Individual sessions are $120, and couples/family sessions are $140.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to you, there’s no one-size-fits-all in therapy. I take time to understand your unique experiences, strengths, and goals so our work together feels meaningful and relevant.

Clients often appreciate my ability to listen deeply, build trust, and create a space where they feel comfortable being open and honest. I balance empathy with gentle challenge, helping you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck while supporting you in making lasting changes. Together, we’ll build insight and develop practical tools you can use in your daily life, whether that’s improving communication, setting boundaries, or managing emotions more effectively.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my focus is helping you feel comfortable, supported, and understood. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, your background, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy, at a pace that feels right for you. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. Therapy with me is collaborative and conversational. I see you as the expert on your own life, while I offer guidance, perspective, and tools to support your growth. My approach is compassionate and validating, while also gently challenging when needed. Together, we’ll begin to identify patterns, build insight, and develop practical strategies that help you create meaningful, lasting change.
