Great to meet you!

I am a trauma-sensitive, trauma-informed Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a specialization in Medical Family Therapy. Client couples can expect to be welcomed into a supportive, nonjudgmental, supportive virtual space.

Please be advised that clients struggling with active suicidality, self-harm, homicidal ideations, and substance abuse/ misuse (including alcoholism) will be referred to higher levels of care.

My approach to therapy

The heart of my therapeutic practice is grounded in Intergenerational Family Systems Theories. As a Marriage & Family therapist, understanding the systemic influences of your psychosocial development is an integral part of the work we will explore together.

My skill set & experiences have empowered me to support client couples navigating the first 5 years of marriage, blended family challenges, & circumstances associated with adverse childhood experiences, trauma & grief.

What you can expect from me

The first session will be an opportunity to develop rapport, discuss why you sought psychotherapeutic services, and collaboratively create a treatment plan to address your concerns. Throughout treatment, we will assess the progress toward your goals and the improvement of your symptoms while cultivating a space for you to process your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
