Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive clinical experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. I have supported clients through a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges, providing individualized care that reflects each person's unique strengths, experiences, and goals.

My approach to therapy

My clinical approach is integrative and personalized to meet the unique needs of each client. I draw from evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Positive Psychotherapy. These approaches support clients in identifying unhelpful thought patterns, managing emotional distress, building effective coping skills, and moving toward their goals with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

What you can expect from me

I believe in the inherent strengths and potential of every person. In our work together, we will focus on enhancing self-awareness, improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, and fostering personal growth. Whether you're seeking support for a specific issue or looking to make broader changes in your life, I am committed to walking alongside you on your therapeutic journey.

Please feel free to reach out for a complimentary phone consultation. I look forward to the opportunity to support you.
