Great to meet you!

Hi! Welcome! Thank you for visiting my page! I am a Marriage and Family therapist with over 10 years in clinical practice. I focus my work on individuals and couple struggling with the stressors and impacts of building their families. I also specialize in infertility and treatment support, loss/grief work and parenting challenges.

My approach to therapy

I focus on keeping my work collaborative and customized to each client's desires and needs. I bring training in Family Systems work, Gottman Therapy, and past work in IICAPS, intensive in-home children and adolescent treatment. I highly prioritize an open, direct and warm therapeutic environment.

What you can expect from me

First sessions are dedicated to exploring your story and goals for therapy. I work to start with a strong foundation in your life experience and perspective on current challenges.
