Great to meet you!

I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience, and I'm passionate about working with couples and families. Outside the therapy room, I'm a wife, mother of three, and Army veteran — life experience that shapes how I show up for clients navigating relationships, family conflict, trauma, and the everyday stress of a full life.

My approach to therapy

I use an attachment-based, Family Systems approach, which means we won't just talk about symptoms — we'll look at your relationship patterns, communication styles, and the roles you play in your family and other systems in your life. My style is empowering, open-minded, and yes, a little humorous — because healing doesn't have to feel heavy all the time.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I'll take time to get to know you and what matters most to you — no rushing. We'll talk through what's bringing you to therapy, answer any questions you have, and start building a plan that fits your goals, whether you're coming in as an individual, a couple, or a family.
