Holding licenses as an addiction specialist and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapy to individuals, couples, and families.

I enjoy working with children and families who need help processing through parent-child dynamics, depression, anxiety, behavior, parenting and attachment challenges, self-esteem, peer/school relationships and trauma experiences. When working with families, my goal is to develop a collaborative approach in my therapy sessions.

We will work together to find solutions to help your family work through obstacles and barriers faced on a day to day basis.

Telehealth Only: Life can be unexpectedly messy. It is full of moments that can feel overwhelming and get in the way of your happiness, health, and well-being. You may have been feeling great in life, when seemingly out of nowhere something feels off or taking the next step in life seems daunting. Regardless of the situation, our attachments, experiences, cognition, and family-of-origin can impact our lives in a variety of ways that can be difficult to handle alone.

Whether you are embarking on the journey of therapy for the first time, returning, or exploring different therapeutic services, my mission is to provide a space where you feel truly heard.

I particularly enjoy working with clients who are working on increasing their self-esteem, improving emotional processing, and individuals wanting to enhance overall wellness. By learning new ways of understanding themselves, and by seeking new coping strategies for dealing with stress, clients can gain greater confidence being their authentic self, both in therapy sessions and out in the world. My goal is to support clients through their journey towards self-understanding, self-compassion, and confidence.

One of the most important relationships you can work on is the relationship you have with yourself. Can you envision a life where you give yourself more grace, are more fulfilled in your relationships, and that aligns more closely with your deepest values?

I enjoy helping clients navigate the complexities of work, life, and relationship issues and deconstructing the barriers that are holding them back from achieving their deepest dreams and goals.
