I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master's degree in Human Development and Family Sciences. I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship conflict,life transitions, and patterns that feel hard to break. I specialize in helping clients slow down reactive cycles, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and make intentional changes that support healthier connection and communication.

My approach is warm, direct, and solution-oriented. I believe therapy should be a space where clients feel supported and thoughtfully challenged. In sessions, we focus on increasing awareness of relational dynamics, strengthening emotional regulation, and developing practical tools that can be applied outside the therapy room.

I often work with couples experiencing high conflict, communication breakdowns, or uncertainty about the future of their relationship, as well as individuals who want deeper insight into their relationship patterns, boundaries, and sense of self.

My approach to therapy is calm, structured, and collaborative. I work from a systems-based perspective, helping clients understand how patterns in relationships, communication, and emotional responses develop and repeat over time. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness of these patterns while also identifying practical steps to support meaningful change.

I take a warm and direct approach in sessions, balancing emotional support with thoughtful challenge. I help clients slow down reactive cycles, improve emotional regulation, and develop clearer communication and boundaries. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each client’s goals, with an emphasis on applying insights in everyday life.

I work with both individuals and couples, and frequently support couples navigating high conflict, communication breakdowns, and relational uncertainty.

In the first session, clients can expect a supportive, structured, and non-judgmental space to begin sharing what brings them to therapy. We will spend time understanding current concerns, relevant history, and what each client hopes to gain from therapy.

I focus on helping clients feel grounded and understood while also identifying initial patterns or dynamics that may be contributing to distress. By the end of the session, clients can expect greater clarity about next steps, a sense of direction for treatment, and a collaborative plan moving forward.
