If you’re looking for something that actually helps you move forward (not just talk about why you’re stuck), we’ll probably be a good fit.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps adults navigate trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the pressure of carrying too much for too long. My approach is warm, honest, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I create a space where you can feel genuinely seen while also receiving practical tools that help you move forward. I integrate EMDR and other evidence-based approaches to help clients understand patterns, process painful experiences, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with who they are. You will find compassion in our sessions, but I will also gently challenge you when doing so supports your growth.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both Florida and California, and a proud veteran of the United States Air Force. I work with individuals and couples, including service members, veterans, and their family members, who are seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My work is grounded in partnership, reflection, and healing during times of uncertainty and ongoing change.

I'm a clinical therapist experienced with working with individuals, couples, families and children, who've faced challenging situations, such as domestic violence or family separation. My focus is on creating a safe, empathetic space where clients can explore their strengths, heal, and grow. I use a humanistic approach, meaning I’m here to support you without judgment, helping you connect with your own goals and resilience as we work together toward positive change.
