Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in helping women navigate marriage struggles, betrayal, and broken trust. My approach is active, direct, and focused on creating real change—not just talking about what went wrong. I believe the problem you see on the surface is rarely the whole story, so we’ll look deeper at what’s keeping your marriage stuck. You may come to me because of your marriage, but the work we do can change so much more.

My approach to therapy

I’m not the kind of therapist who will simply sit back and listen. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer a different perspective, and lovingly challenge you when needed. I want our work to help you understand what’s really driving the patterns you’re experiencing so you can create meaningful change in your life and relationships. And while we may work through some really hard things, you can expect plenty of humor and laughter along the way.

What you can expect from me

I don’t believe you need to spend several sessions telling me your entire life story before we can do meaningful work. In our first session, we’ll get clear on what brought you to therapy, what you want to change, and start working on it right away. You can expect to leave with new insight, a different perspective, and something meaningful you can begin applying before our next session.
