Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Life Coach who specializes in working with adults navigating dating, relationships, and family dynamics. I help individuals build healthy, fulfilling romantic relationships while developing a stronger sense of self, confidence, and emotional clarity. I also support clients in healing from childhood trauma and working through family relationships, as well as managing anxiety and depression, with the goal of helping them feel relief from symptoms and experience more happiness and balance in their lives. My work is focused on helping you show up more authentically and securely in your relationships, with others and with yourself.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, compassionate, and highly personalized. I believe effective therapy, especially around dating, romantic relationships, and family relationships, must be tailored to each individual’s experiences, attachment style, and goals. I combine empathy with honest, direct feedback to help you gain insight, develop healthier patterns, and move forward with confidence. I value collaboration and welcome feedback throughout our work together. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where you can openly explore your experiences and emotions. I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you work toward healthier relationships, relief from anxiety and depression, and a more fulfilling life.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we’ll spend time talking about what brought you to therapy, what you’re currently struggling with, and what you’d like to work toward. We’ll explore past and present habits, patterns, and relationships, as well as the changes you hope to make. This session is collaborative and focused on creating a treatment plan tailored to your therapeutic goals and mental health needs. You’re always welcome to ask questions. This is your space and it’s important to me that you feel comfortable and supported from the start.
