I believe that seeking therapy takes courage, and my role is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions and work toward meaningful change. I'm a marriage and family therapist working with teenagers, young adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Outside of sessions, you can usually find me baking, planning my next trip, or deep in an anime series.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to you—I draw from evidence-based methods including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and solution-focused brief therapy. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, I'm committed to finding the therapeutic style that best honors your unique needs and experiences.
The first session is mostly about getting to know each other. I'll ask about what brought you here, what you've already tried, and what you want your life to look like. You're welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable, and there's no pressure to have it all figured out or explained perfectly. By the end, we'll talk through your goals and what our work together could look like. My hope is that you leave feeling a little lighter and a little more hopeful than when you logged on.
