I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a National Certified Counselor. With a master’s degree in counseling in family, couples, and marriage counseling. My experience includes assisting individuals through life transitions. I offer a compassionate space for those navigating life transitions, and or other challenges that can arise during a transformative time.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and integrative. As an LMFT and National Certified Counselor, I draw from ACT, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to tailor treatment to each client’s needs. I work from a strengths-based, holistic lens. I see therapy as a partnership where we work together to understand what’s happening, identify strengths and areas for potential growth, and build tools that support healing and long-term change. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, validated, and empowered to move toward the version of themselves they want to become.
In the first session, clients can expect a warm, calm, and collaborative space. I start by learning about themselves, what brought them in, exploring their current concerns, history, and what they hope to gain from therapy. I move at a trauma-informed and client-paced rhythm to ensure they feel safe and supported. I also explain my integrative approach how I blend ACT, CBT, Solution-Focused strategies, and Internal Family Systems and how we will work together as partners in their healing. Clients typically leave the first session with a clearer understanding of their goals, an initial plan for our work together. Above all, clients can expect to feel heard, validated, and understood from the very beginning.
