About me
I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping individuals and families find relief from anxiety, grief, and relationship challenges. My goal is to help you heal from difficult experiences and move forward with confidence. I offer trauma-informed therapy for both youth and adults, using practical, evidence-based approaches to calm the nervous system, process past pain, and develop lasting coping skills. Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and structured. I strive to create a safe space where you can feel seen and supported, while also offering clear guidance and tools to help you make meaningful progress. Reaching out for help can feel like a big step, but it can also be the start of real change—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and create 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 gain from therapy. Together, we’ll begin identifying patterns, strengths, and goals, and I’ll introduce some practical tools you can start using right away. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about how I work and what therapy might look like for you. My hope is that you’ll leave feeling heard, supported, and clear about the next steps we’ll take together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I’m known for balancing clarity and structure with deep compassion and understanding. I create a safe environment where you can express hurt and feel validated, while also helping you make sense of your experiences and build a practical plan for growth. My approach is collaborative—I believe therapy works best when we work together toward your goals, at your own pace.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with children, youth, and adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by anxiety, grief, or relationship challenges. My approach focuses on helping you understand your emotions, develop practical coping skills, and find a way forward that feels both manageable and meaningful. Whether you’re navigating loss, family dynamics, or personal growth, I provide a warm and supportive space where you can feel empowered to create lasting change.

I use psychoeducation to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
