Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over eight years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through meaningful change. My background spans community-based programs, hospital settings, and telehealth, giving me a deep understanding of how people grow within their relationships, environments, and daily challenges.

I specialize in evidence‐based approaches including Multisystemic Therapy (MST), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution‐Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma, and major life transitions.

My approach to therapy

My style is collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in compassion. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to build healthier patterns and move toward the life you want. Whether we’re strengthening communication, setting boundaries, or healing past wounds, I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my goal is to create a calm, supportive space where you can speak openly and feel genuinely heard. I take time to learn about what brings you to therapy, what you’ve been navigating, and what you hope to change or strengthen in your life. We’ll explore your goals together and begin identifying the patterns, stressors, or relationship dynamics that may be impacting your well‐being.
