Great to meet you!

I've been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 17 years. Therapy takes work, vulnerability and trust. Choosing the right person is important. I love to come alongside your journey to help give you a caring and supportive space while you a new perspective. I work primarily with females who are experiencing life transitions (college, post-college, married life, divorce, motherhood, etc).

My approach to therapy

I utilize an eclectic approach that focuses on rapport building. I believe everyone has strengths that can be utilized to work towards your goals.

What you can expect from me

My goal for our first session together is to determine if we are the right fit as therapist-client and to identify how you'd like our session to look/focus on, including treatment goals.
