Hello, I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (DMFT, LMFT, RMFT) with multistate licensure. I am trained & specialize in Relationship Counseling and Couples Therapy. I am accepting new clients. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment while guiding couples to strengthen their relationships, repair emotional wounds, and find new meaning in their relationship. As an LMFT, I have training in working with complex couples, families, and individuals. The outlook is systemic, person-centered, and strengths-based. Interventions are based on the client's needs, leveraging the client's own strengths as a door to sustainability

Complex relationship dynamics can lead to significant distress. Counseling and therapy are valuable resources for couples, individuals, and families, offering empathy, understanding, and attentive listening. I am dedicated to helping you and your family achieve your personal and relational goals.

Why Work With Me? Doctorate-level expertise in marriage & family therapy; a compassionate, culturally sensitive approach; a focus on amplifying clients' strengths in a safe, non-judgmental environment; integrating research-supported and evidence-based techniques with practical tools; a commitment to empowering clients on their healing journeys; 100% Virtual Teletherapy.

My approach to therapy is listening, supportive, and goal-oriented, promoting openness, inclusivity, and respect for the client's autonomy. The therapy modalities I primarily use—The Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Solution-Focused, Gestalt, and Narrative Therapy—form the foundation of my therapeutic approach. I develop treatment goals with the client to ensure their needs are met in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

Clients are the authors of their own lives. The therapeutic relationship is strongly tied to the client's narrative. As a therapist, my role is to listen, highlight the client's strengths, help them problem-solve, develop personal goals, and support self-empowerment.

During our initial sessions, we will explore the presenting issues and then collaborate to create a strength-based goals plan with support, collaboration, and understanding.
