Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified EMDR Therapist. For more than 15 years, I’ve been supporting children, teens, adults, and couples through challenging periods of their lives, offering a professional helping hand when it’s needed most.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I try to create a safe space where even the most uncomfortable topics and life experiences are welcome to be seen and understood with respect.

What you can expect from me

I focus on tuning into each client’s unique life situation and helping you discover what is authentically true for you and what your next step might be toward a more fulfilling life. Sometimes, this means facing anxiety, depression, or trauma and finding a way toward greater inner balance. Sometimes, it’s your relationship that needs care. I am here to help.
