Great to meet you!

I am an LMFT therapist and specialize in helping clients get unstuck, navigate life transitions, identity, and relationships. With a background in conflict resolution and mediation, I am not afraid to meet complex, long-standing, and deep-rooted challenges head-on and work with you to achieve your goals and move towards alignment.

My approach to therapy

In therapy, I offer a compassionate and collaborative space to slow down, reflect on your experience, identify patterns, reconnect with emotions and connection, and build both insight and practical coping tools.

Relationships can be like a mirror, pushing us to grow in areas we may or may not be ready to, and challenging us in ways we aren’t used to. For couples and those navigating family, friendship, or romantic challenges, join me to strengthen your relationship at any stage to improve communication, work on tough issues, and build increased understanding.

What you can expect from me

I will invite you into our first session with a warm, collaborative, and authentic approach. We will explore your goals, challenges, and strengths and work together to identify a plan to support your journey.
