Great to meet you!

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. I bring warmth, compassion, and a collaborative approach to help clients feel safe exploring emotions and relationships. My clients describe me as empathetic and steady, offering guidance to uncover patterns, heal, and build stronger connections.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and an attachment-informed approach to help clients understand their emotions and relational patterns. My focus is on creating a safe, supportive space where we work together to identify challenges, foster meaningful change, and strengthen connections in your life.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients leave sessions with a deeper understanding of their emotions, clearer communication skills, and tools to navigate relationships. They feel more connected, confident, and equipped to address challenges, with hope and strategies for meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
