Great to meet you!

I earned my Master of Arts degree in psychology with a focus on marriage and family therapy to pursue my passion for helping others navigate life's challenges, achieve personal growth, and heal. My education and training have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide effective, evidence-based therapy to my clients.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, empowering, and occasionally humorous. My goal is to build a safe, trustworthy environment to foster healing and personal growth. Together, we explore deep personal issues, encourage new ways of thinking, strengthen coping, and problem solving skills. I typically work with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, acute stress, addictive behaviors, grief and loss, navigating relationships, with a focus on strengthening communication skills.

What you can expect from me

We'll discuss what brings you to therapy and identify your goals. I'll gather information about your background, current challenges, and strengths. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we're a good fit. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space, where you can openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Additionally, you can ask questions about the therapeutic process.
