My goal is to help everyday people, facing everyday problems overcome challenges and live their best life. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working with families, individuals, and couples. I provide a collaborative therapeutic approach integrating human-centered, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients as they face, explore, and cope with painful emotions, behavioral challenges, and stressors. I recognize the need for help navigating life and emotional challenges.
Knowing that it takes courage for people to seek therapy, I work with compassion to create a therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe, understood, and empowered. I will listen carefully to your concerns and will work with you to develop treatment goals tailored to your individual needs.
I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth. For my availability, please reach out to Octave’s team by emailing or calling.
