About me
I am a licesned Marital and Family Therapist. I help people carrying anxiety, grief, or challenges in relationships find relief, heal from difficult experiences, and move forward with confidence. I provide trauma-informed counseling for youth and adults, using practical, evidence-based approaches to calm the nervous system, process past pain, and build lasting coping skills. Clients describe me as compassionate and warm, while also offering structure and a clear path forward. Reaching out can feel like a big step, but it can also be the start of real change—and I’d be honored to support you along the way.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
“In your first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and creating a comfortable, judgment-free space for you to share what’s on your mind. I’ll ask about your background, current concerns, and what you hope to get out of therapy. Together, we’ll start identifying patterns, challenges, and strengths, and I’ll introduce some practical tools and strategies that may help you navigate what brought you to therapy. The first session is also a chance for you to ask questions about how I work, what therapy might look like for you, and to get a sense of whether my approach feels like a good fit. My goal is for you to leave feeling understood, supported, and with a clear sense of the next steps we’ll take together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I’m often told that I have a strong balance of being clear and educational while staying compassionate and understanding. I create a safe space where clients can express hurt and feel validated, while also helping them make sense of their experiences and build practical plans together. My approach is collaborative, guiding clients toward clarity, coping skills, and meaningful growth while honoring their unique journey.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by anxiety, grief, or relationship challenges. I focus on helping you understand your feelings, build practical coping skills, and find a path forward that feels manageable and meaningful. I provide a warm, supportive space for both youth and adults, while also offering guidance to help you feel confident and empowered as you navigate life’s challenges.
