LMFT, 8 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi, I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 8 years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges. My practice is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I bring particular insight into substance use disorders, helping clients navigate recovery, relational healing, and emotional resilience. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I offer a safe space to explore, grow, and move toward meaningful change.
In our first session, you can expect a calm, supportive space where we move at your pace. We’ll start by getting to know each other—what brings you in, what you’re hoping for, and what feels most important to you right now. I’ll ask some gentle questions to understand your story, but there’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. My goal is to create a space that feels safe, collaborative, and grounded in respect. Whether you’re feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or just curious about therapy, we’ll take the first step together—with care and clarity.
What sets my work apart is the way I blend warmth, clarity, and clinical depth to create a space where clients feel both safe and empowered. I’m deeply attuned to the emotional nuances of each person I work with, and I bring a steady, grounded presence that helps clients feel seen without judgment. My greatest strengths lie in my ability to hold space for complexity—whether it’s anxiety, relational pain, or life transitions—while offering practical, evidence-based tools that foster real movement and change. I integrate CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused, and narrative approaches in a way that’s flexible and responsive to your needs—not one-size-fits-all. Clients often tell me they appreciate how I help them connect the dots between patterns and possibilities, and how our work leads to clearer communication, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of self-trust. Therapy with me is collaborative, emotionally honest, and always centered on your growth.
If you’re someone who feels overwhelmed by stress, stuck in patterns of anxiety or sadness, or unsure how to communicate your needs in relationships—you’re not alone, and you’re exactly who I’m here to support. I work best with adults who are thoughtful, self-aware, and ready to explore change, even if they’re not sure where to begin. Many of my clients are professionals, new mothers, or individuals navigating life transitions who crave clarity, emotional grounding, and healthier connections. Like you, I value honesty, autonomy, and emotional safety. I know how exhausting it can be to hold everything together while feeling misunderstood or disconnected. In our work together, we’ll create a space that’s validating, practical, and tailored to your pace—where you can unpack what’s heavy, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward the life and relationships you want.
In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. We work collaboratively to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop more balanced perspectives, and practice coping strategies that support emotional regulation and goal-directed action. CBT is structured, practical, and tailored to each client’s needs—whether we’re addressing anxiety, low mood, or relationship challenges.
In my practice, I use Solution Focused Therapy to help clients identify and build on their existing strengths, resources, and successes. Rather than focusing on problems or the past, we explore what’s working, clarify goals, and develop practical steps toward preferred outcomes. This approach is collaborative, empowering, and future-oriented—supporting clients to move forward with confidence and clarity.
