Great to meet you!

As an LMFT with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a compassionate, systems-based approach to therapy, helping individuals navigate personal challenges and create lasting change. With a focus on mental health struggles, LGBT issues, and substance abuse, I work collaboratively with clients to address the interconnectedness of their experiences and find solutions that fit their unique needs. Drawing from both my professional expertise and personal journey, I’m deeply passionate about supporting others in overcoming obstacles and achieving emotional well-being. Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, or recovery, I’m here to offer a safe, empathetic space for growth and healing.

My approach to therapy

In therapy with me, you can expect a blend of humor, empowerment, and a whole lot of warmth. I believe in creating a space where you feel both challenged and supported, as we tackle the issues at hand with a solution-focused mindset. Life’s tough, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find ways to lighten the load—while still getting down to the heart of what’s really going on. My approach is all about encouraging growth, pushing you outside your comfort zone (in the best way), and helping you tap into your inner strength to make real change. Together, we’ll work through the tough stuff, celebrate the wins, and have a few laughs along the way. You’ve got this—and I’ve got your back!

What you can expect from me

In sessions with me, clients can look forward to gaining clarity, confidence, and practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of yourself, empowered to make healthier choices and approach obstacles with a fresh perspective. Together, we’ll work through what’s holding you back, and you’ll leave feeling more equipped to tackle the next step in your journey. With a mix of compassion, humor, and actionable strategies, you’ll gain the insights and strength to create meaningful, lasting change in your life. You’re not alone in this—let’s unlock your potential and build the life you want, one step at a time.
