I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with 9 years of experience specializing in trauma, narcissistic abuse recovery, depression, and anxiety. My style is direct yet compassionate, providing more than just a listening ear. I offer honest feedback, practical tools, and actionable strategies to create meaningful change. I’m here to support, challenge, and empower you to build healthier relationships, heal from the past, and move forward with confidence.

I bring 20 years of experience as a social worker across a range of mental health settings, but individual therapy is where I feel most at home. I often work with people navigating life transitions, stress, relationship challenges, and that “stuck” feeling. I also use DBT-informed approaches to help build coping skills and emotional balance.
