Much of the human experience is shaped by relationships and attachment. Our early attachment experiences influence how we connect, communicate, and relate to others throughout life. When these patterns no longer serve us, they can create distress and disconnection in our relationships. I work with people from all walks of life who want to better understand their attachment patterns, break unhelpful cycles, challenge limiting core beliefs, and improve communication. My goal is to support meaningful change that fosters healthier, more secure, and fulfilling relationships. I am a holistic, person-centered marriage and family therapist with specialized training in attachment theory and relational healing. I support individuals, couples, and families who struggle to feel understood, express emotions, or have their needs met, helping foster safety, connection, and meaningful change. My approach is rooted in the belief that connection is at the heart of healing. When individuals feel seen, heard, and valued, they are better able to access their strengths, build insight, and create meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences without judgment and with genuine curiosity. I work collaboratively with clients, recognizing them as the experts of their own lives. Together, we identify patterns, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools that support healthier relationships with others and with oneself. I also believe in the resilience and capacity for growth within every person and family. Even in moments of disconnection, pain, or uncertainty, there is opportunity for repair, understanding, and transformation. My role is not to direct, but to guide, to help clients reconnect with their values, deepen their relationships, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.

Get to know me

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

The first session is an intake session where we discuss your all aspects of your life up to this point. The first session is also to get to know each other and determine if we can work together to achieve your treatment goals. In the first session we will explore what brought you to therapy and establish a treatment goal that you feel is most important to focus on first.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have a lot of lived experience and have spent my adult years trying a lot of new things and creating learning opportunities to be the best human I can be. I absolutely enjoy helping other humans figure out how to be their best self and achieve any goal they set their mind to. With 13 years of experience in providing therapy services to individuals, couples and families, I am a direct therapist that will challenge you to achieve your goals and support you from a person-centered approach where you are central to the change process and are the expert of your life. I am hear to listen, be objective, non-judgement, be curious and work together to find ways to feel better while being brave, and courageous enough to sit in vulnerability and find safety that helps you feel better and improve your life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I believe that relationships have the power to heal, and that even during life's most challenging seasons, growth and connection are possible. I especially enjoy supporting couples and families navigating the unique joys and challenges of neurodivergence, helping each person better understand themselves and one another while building relationships rooted in compassion, communication, and acceptance. I work alongside individuals who want to strengthen their relationships by learning to identify their needs, communicate them with confidence, and create healthier, more fulfilling connections. Together, we explore patterns that may no longer serve you and develop practical, meaningful ways to foster emotional safety, resilience, and lasting change. I have a special passion for working with couples and families who are preparing to grow their families or are navigating the early years of parenthood. Whether you are trying to conceive, expecting a baby, adjusting to pregnancy, or finding your footing after your child arrives, I provide a supportive space to process the emotional, relational, and developmental challenges that often accompany these transitions. Parenthood can be both beautiful and overwhelming. If you're feeling disconnected from your partner, struggling to bond with your child, carrying the weight of past trauma, or simply wondering if you're "doing it right," you don't have to face those feelings alone. Together, we can build a conscious, attachment-focused approach to parenting that nurtures secure relationships, supports healthy child development, and helps your family reconnect with the joy, confidence, and fulfillment that brought you to this journey in the first place. My hope is to create a space where every member of your family feels seen, understood, and supported—because healing happens in relationships, and every family deserves the opportunity to thrive.

My treatment methods

Adlerian

Adlerian therapy is a therapeutic approach that helps people understand how their early life experiences, relationships, and beliefs influence the way they think, feel, and interact with others today. Rather than focusing on what's "wrong," it emphasizes strengths, personal growth, and the ability to make positive changes. The goal of Adlerian therapy is to help individuals develop greater self-awareness, build healthier relationships, and create a greater sense of belonging, purpose, and confidence. Together, therapist and client explore patterns, identify unhelpful beliefs, and work toward new ways of thinking and behaving that support a more fulfilling life.

Attachment-based

Attachment-based therapy focuses on how our earliest relationships shape the way we connect with ourselves and others throughout life. When early experiences create feelings of safety, trust, and security, relationships often feel easier. When those experiences include inconsistency, loss, or trauma, they can affect how we relate to others as adults. This approach helps individuals, couples, and families understand these patterns, heal past relationship wounds, and build stronger, more secure connections. The goal is to create healthier relationships based on trust, safety, communication, and emotional connection.

Child Parent Psychotherapy

Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) is a therapy for young children and their caregivers that helps strengthen the parent-child relationship after stress, trauma, or other difficult life experiences. Parent and child attend sessions together to build safety, improve communication, and support healthy emotional development. The goal of CPP is to help children feel secure, strengthen the bond between caregiver and child, and give families the tools to heal, grow, and thrive together.

Couples Counseling

The goal of couples therapy is to build trust, deepen emotional connection, develop healthier communication patterns, and create a stronger, more fulfilling relationship. The goal of discernment counseling is for the couple to explore the relationship and decide one of three choices; divorce, keep things as they are (status quo), or to enter into couples therapy. This approach helps couples who are "on the fence" about staying together or moving forward with separation and divorce. Divorce counseling is an approach that assist couples who are going through divorce to have a safe space to amicably work through common divorce issues such as child custody. Trained in emotion-focused and Gottman method of therapy.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is based on the idea that everyone has different "parts" within themselves, such as the part that worries, the part that protects, or the part that feels hurt. These parts all have important roles, even when their behaviors no longer serve us. IFS helps you understand these parts with curiosity and compassion, heal emotional wounds, and strengthen your core sense of calm, confidence, and self-leadership. The goal is to create greater balance, inner peace, and healthier relationships with yourself and others.
