Great to meet you!

Welcome! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard while also making meaningful progress. I believe therapy should be both compassionate and practical, with a focus on understanding what is happening and finding solutions that create lasting change.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, stress, grief, low self-esteem, emotional regulation difficulties, and major life transitions. I am EMDR trained and enjoy helping clients process difficult experiences, recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and develop a stronger sense of confidence and emotional well-being.

My style is collaborative, direct, inquisitive, and solution-oriented. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, help you look at situations from different perspectives, and work with you to identify what is and isn’t working. I use an integrative approach that may include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and attachment-focused interventions.

Every client brings a unique story, so I tailor treatment to your individual needs, strengths, and goals. Together, we’ll work on building practical coping skills, improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, increasing self-awareness, and creating meaningful change.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, healing from trauma, experiencing relationship difficulties, or navigating a major life transition, therapy can be a place to gain clarity, feel more in control, and move forward with greater confidence.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, direct, and solution-oriented. I believe meaningful progress begins with feeling safe, understood, and supported, while also having a therapist who can ask thoughtful, direct, and inquisitive questions. Together, we’ll explore what is bringing you to therapy, identify your goals, and create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs, strengths, and experiences.

I use an integrative approach and draw from evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and attachment-focused techniques. I tailor these approaches to each client rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms, but to help you understand patterns, build practical coping and emotional regulation skills, strengthen relationships, increase self-awareness, and create lasting change. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, stress, and major life transitions.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and I’ll work alongside you while also challenging you when appropriate. My goal is to help you gain clarity, identify solutions, and feel more confident and empowered in creating the changes you want in your life.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, your personal history, current challenges, and the goals you’d like to achieve. This is also a chance for you to ask questions and determine whether we’re a good fit.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. Together, we’ll begin developing a personalized treatment plan that reflects your unique needs and strengths. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or life transitions, you’ll leave the session with a better understanding of the therapy process and the next steps toward achieving your goals.
