Great to meet you!

I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Friends University in 2019, but my path here didn't start in a classroom — it started in Human Resources, where I spent years helping people navigate conflict, communication breakdowns, and the messy dynamics that come with any close relationship. Turns out, those same skills translate pretty directly to couples work.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in relationships and couples therapy with adults, and I bring a style that clients often describe as funny, direct, and solutions-focused. I want to help you understand what's actually going on and leave every session with real, actionable tools you can use to make things better. Change should feel doable, not overwhelming.

What you can expect from me

If you're looking for a therapist who will tell it to you straight (with a little humor along the way) and help you build a relationship that actually works, I'd love to work with you.

In the first session, I usually ask some basic questions and then really want to hear from you what brings you to therapy. It's usually a messy brain dump and then we make sense of that information as we go.
