As an licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), my therapeutic framework is rooted in using a systemic approach with my clients. What this means is that I believe we understand ourselves within the context of our foundational relationships with others. I work with individuals, couples and/or families from this framework to help them to build healthier relationships within themselves as well as with others.

As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.

I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.

Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

The past few years have been extremely difficult for many people and may have caused or intensified emotional health struggles.

If you are feeling emotionally drained, struggling with anxiety, depression, panic, or no longer finding enjoyment in life the way you once did, you are not alone. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but meaningful growth and healing are possible.
