LMFT, 25 years of experience
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I’m passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families strengthen their relationships and navigate life’s challenges with confidence. I believe that healing and growth occur through connection, and I strive to create a safe and supportive space where every voice matters. My approach integrates Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 3 trained), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Family Systems Theory, along with evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness. Whether you’re navigating communication struggles, parenting challenges, or major life transitions, my goal is to empower you to build trust, deepen emotional bonds, and foster lasting harmony in your relationships. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities for growth and transformation.
During our first session, I aim to understand you and what you hope to achieve from therapy. We will generally use the session to become acquainted with one another.
