I am a mom, bonus mom, wife who has been blessed to work in my passion as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. With over a decade of experience as a dedicated therapist, passionate about providing access to quality mental health care. I specialize in working with diverse individuals and family dynamics, fostering a compassionate and accepting environment. My approach is rooted in authenticity, as I believe in the power of genuine connection to promote healing and growth. I am committed to supporting each client on their unique journey towards mental wellness.
In our first session together, I will gather details to better understand what you want to work on and decide what goals you would like to focus on in therapy. We will also work on building our relationship as you deserve a therapeutic relationship built on genuine connection and mutual respect. I am committed to supporting you through the "messy" parts of growth with authenticity and compassion.
I provide a warm, open-minded space where we prioritize honest exploration over clinical "politeness." Specializing in individuals and family systems, I use an empowering approach that challenges you to push past the barriers keeping you small. We’ll work toward concrete change by fostering the resilience you need to own your journey.
I’ve found that the most meaningful growth happens when you stop just "managing" your symptoms and start engaging deeply with your story. I work with diverse individuals and families who feel stuck in cycles that no longer serve them—whether that’s the heavy pull of depression, the constant hum of anxiety, or complex family dynamics that feel impossible to navigate. My ideal clients are ready for a therapist who is as authentic and direct as they are. I help you move from a place of feeling overwhelmed to a state of resilience, self-discovery, and genuine mental wellness.

In my experience using the CBT model in therapy, I work closely with individuals to help them identify and challenge negative thoughts patterns that contribute to their experienced emotional distress. I guide them through restructuring their thoughts with learning how to reframe unhelpful thoughts and use effective skills to address maladaptive behaviors.
