Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a relational therapist and have developed skills in modalities such as Narrative therapy, Client-center therapy, & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients towards cultivating autonomy, self-confidence, and healthier relationships. I value the power of storytelling and drawing unique strengths that will help navigate through life experiences.

My approach to therapy

The therapeutic relationship is a trusting process. I use empathy, humor, and positive regard to create a safe space to discuss distress people experience throughout the course of life. I encourage my clients to identify and focus on the things they can control when dealing with depression and anxiety.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect their first session with me to feel collaborative, supportive, and judgment-free. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to show up as you are; whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, emotionally exhausted, or simply trying to better understand yourself and your relationships.
