Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has provided effective and compassionate counseling to individuals, couples and families for the past 15 years. I draw extensively on attachment-based approaches to support individuals in building secure, emotionally attuned relationships. My experience with this method centers on understanding how early attachment experiences shape relational patterns, emotional regulation, and interpersonal dynamics across the lifespan.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in using family systems theory to help individuals navigate relational challenges, improve communication, and foster emotional connection. My experience with family therapy is rooted in understanding the family as an interconnected system, where each member’s behavior influences and is influenced by others.

What you can expect from me

My experience as a family therapist has allowed me to support individuals, couples and families in developing practical tools for emotional regulation, problem-solving, and healthier communication.
