I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I partner with individuals and families in the therapeutic process. As a collaborative therapist I believe that judgments are for courtrooms, and that no one has to do it all alone. My therapeutic approach is relationship based and person-centered. This relationship is a partnership with the purpose of engaging in conversations to reach a deeper understanding and encourage growth and change. Maybe you have a difficult child or you're grieving a loss. Whether your struggle is depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, addictive tendencies, resurfacing childhood trauma, etc., there can be relief.

When someone takes the step to seek support through life’s challenges, it is an act of courage and hope.

I probably don’t need to tell you we’re living in a racist, sexist, heteronormative, capitalist dystopian nightmare in a slow and painful collapse. It’s hard to cope with that knowledge while dealing with day-to-day nonsense, on top of reliving past trauma on a regular basis. It’s a lot and it’s heavy and it sucks. Some people turn to substances and other vices to cope.

I am the best fit for a family who has children between the ages from birth to 24 years old. I offer support to families who are struggling with challenging behaviors from their children and adolescents in home or at school. I offer a unique systemic approach that includes parents in the treatment process that is not found in many other practices.

As I believe therapy for children should be brief and solution focused so they can get back to being a kid.
