Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Together, we will work toward gaining insight, building coping skills, and creating meaningful changes that align with your goals.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to the unique needs and goals of each client. I integrate several therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, humanistic, family systems, strengths-based, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Together, we will explore patterns, relationships, thoughts, and emotions that may be impacting your well-being while building tools to support growth, healing, and emotional balance.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will take time to get to know one another, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore your current challenges, goals, and areas where you would like support. I will ask questions to better understand your experiences and begin identifying ways we can work together. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer understanding of the path forward.
