Great to meet you!

With over 12 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy for both individuals and couples. I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with a Post-Master’s Certification in Marriage and Family Therapy, equipping me with advanced training to support clients through a wide range of personal and relational challenges.

My approach to therapy

My work is grounded in evidence-based treatment modalities tailored to meet each client’s unique needs. I commonly integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Person-Centered Therapy, and trauma-informed approaches to help clients build insight, strengthen communication, and create meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is designed to be a welcoming, comfortable space where we begin getting to know one another. You can expect a conversation that focuses on what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, and what you hope to gain from the process. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—this is simply a starting point at your pace.
