I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I work with adults, teens, children, couples, and families. In therapy, I believe you deserve to feel heard and valued as you work toward your goals. I aim to maintain a safe, collaborative space where you're free to express yourself fully, explore the difficulties you've been carrying, and grow in ways guided by your values and strengths.

I am trained in and provide Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, Filial Therapy, and I’m a Registered Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator.
