About me

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship dynamics. I create a warm, compassionate space where clients can feel truly heard and supported as they navigate their challenges. Together, we work to build resilience, develop practical coping strategies, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-worth. My goal is to empower you with the tools to move forward with confidence, clarity, and a renewed sense of hope.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, you can expect to feel comfortable and supported in a space where you’re truly listened to. I’ll take time to learn more about you, your current challenges, and what led you to seek therapy. We’ll also talk about what you hope to achieve and start to outline some goals for our work together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I create a welcoming, supportive space where you can feel truly heard and understood. Together, we’ll work through your challenges with a personalized approach, helping you build the confidence and resilience to grow and move forward toward your goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m here to work with individuals who may be going through life changes, having difficulty managing emotions, or wanting to strengthen their connection with themselves and others.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a structured, goal-oriented approach to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and maladaptive behaviors. Through collaborative exploration, I guide clients in challenging cognitive distortions, implementing practical coping strategies, and developing healthier emotional and behavioral responses. My approach ensures clients gain both insight and practical tools to build resilience, manage distress, and navigate life’s challenges.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients identify strengths, set achievable goals, and focus on solutions rather than problems. By emphasizing clients' existing resources and past successes, I guide them in developing practical strategies for positive change.
