As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Art Therapist, I offer a genuine and non judgmental approach to helping individuals who are seeking to improve their relational and emotional well being. My experience includes working with adults, couples, adolescents, and school aged children.

You deserve to feel seen and live a life of authenticity without the stress and anxiety of being afraid to show others who you are or who you want to be. So often we find ourselves holding back our needs to ensure the needs of others are being met but this pattern leaves many of us feeling lonely and isolated in our relationships. Therapy can be a way to help you achieve the authenticity you are seeking through processing thoughts and feelings that might be getting in your way of showing up for yourself.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed? Maybe you feel that no one can understand what you're going through? Do people consistently want to give you their two cents or give you unsolicited advice? Coming to therapy won't be a quick fix to everything, but it can be a place where you will get the time to discuss anything you want. I believe it is important for women and those identifying as women to have a space to feel comfortable and have the freedom to express yourself. I approach my work with kindness, humor, and a dedication to helping each of my clients create lasting positive effects for their lives.

I’m glad you are here! Looking for a therapist means you’ve taken the initiative to ask for help and seek for change. Many people say that they already start to feel better after making their first appointment. Whether you are feeling stuck or blocked to achieve your goals, losing self-confidence and motivation; or having difficulty coping with a recent loss, a big life change; or finding yourself feeling more anxious, sad, angry, or having more arguments and feeling unsatisfied in your significant relationships; or you are interested in figuring out who you are and feel more connected with yourself; I am here for you.

Do you keep getting hurt in relationships? Keep repeating the same patterns that leave you anxious & depressed? Feel alone, numb, or spiral into intense overwhelming feelings out of nowhere? Early relationships are our blueprint for relationships with self & others. They shape our perceptions & beliefs, often subconsciously. If you grew up with family conflict, mentally ill or absent parents- adult relationships can be hard! You're tired of feeling stuck in the same painful patterns. You know something needs to change, you're just not sure what or how. You're ready to stop feeling broken & finally live an empowered, connected life.

Does your teenager appear to be struggling with big emotions and uncharacteristic behavior and you and your partner don’t know how to help? Do you feel disconnected from yourself, your partner and your teen? Has there been a communication breakdown in the family and your usual tools to maintain closeness are not working? I understand that sometimes even the strongest families and relationships get shaken up by unexpected feelings and intense situations that their kids go through.
