LMFT, 17 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with children, adolescents, and adults to help them navigate challenges that impact their mental health. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I create a safe space where clients feel at ease sharing their thoughts and emotions. I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families in developing healthier coping strategies, fostering emotional resilience, and achieving lasting well-being.
In our first session, clients can expect a welcoming and non-judgmental space where they are encouraged to share what brings them to therapy. We'll begin by discussing current concerns, personal history, and goals for treatment. This initial conversation helps me understand your unique experiences and tailor a therapeutic approach that fits your needs. I’ll also explain how therapy works, answer any questions, and ensure you feel comfortable moving forward. My goal is to create a safe environment where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to begin your journey toward better mental health.
What sets my therapeutic approach apart is a deep commitment to authenticity, compassion, and collaboration. I integrate evidence-based methods—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed care—with a personalized, intuitive understanding of each client’s needs. My style is both grounded and flexible: I meet you where you are, while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve you. Clients often share that they feel genuinely seen and supported in our work together, and that therapy with me feels both safe and transformative. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or life transitions, I bring clarity, empathy, and practical tools to help you move forward with confidence and resilience.
My ideal client is ready to engage in the therapeutic process with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to explore new strategies for healing and growth. Through a collaborative and supportive approach, I empower individuals to build insight, develop resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a well-established, evidence-based approach for treating a wide range of mental health disorders. In my practice, I utilize CBT to help clients explore and understand the dynamic relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This therapeutic model emphasizes skill-building to alleviate symptoms, while also guiding individuals in reframing cognitive patterns and gaining deeper insight into their emotional experiences.
