Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 15 years of experience serving children, adolescents, adults, and families. My background includes 10 years of expertise working with DSS and court-ordered cases. Additionally, I possess substantial knowledge and experience in school-based therapy. I deliver mental health support via telehealth, ensuring a safe, accessible environment for individuals to address challenges, enhance coping strategies, and promote personal development. Recognizing that initiating therapy may be intimidating, I emphasize the importance of selecting an appropriate therapist. My practice is dedicated to offering a collaborative and supportive setting in which clients can pursue balance, healing, and meet their individual mental health goals.

My approach to therapy

I possess extensive experience assisting clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, as well as the complexities associated with unforeseen life transitions. My methodology is customized to meet each individual’s specific needs, utilizing a range of therapeutic approaches including Psychotherapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and CBT.

What you can expect from me

My approach is supportive and collaborative, focusing on creating a safe space. Initiating therapy can represent a significant step, and it’s normal to feel unsure, nervous, or even overwhelmed at the idea of reaching out. In the initial session, I emphasize establishing trust and rapport while gaining a clearer insight into your challenges. You don't need to solve every issue in advance. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel heard, and work through challenges at a pace that feels right for you.
