I graduated from Adler University with a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and hold a license as a Marriage and Family Therapist in Illinois and Oregon. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, families, couples, adolescents, and children on a wide range of issues. These include anxiety, depression, communication, conflict resolution, emotional regulation, Autism spectrum disorder, trauma, and life transitions. My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that true change occurs by focusing our energy on building the new rather than fighting the old.
With expertise in CBT, EFT, Gottman, and person-centered therapy, I offer a comprehensive range of tools. Whether you seek individual support or couples therapy, I create a warm, non-judgmental environment. Together, we explore and navigate emotions, attachment patterns, and thought processes, fostering lasting personal growth and positive transformation.
I'm here to support you on your path towards healing and growth. In a therapeutic environment that adapts to your needs, I aim to nurture a sense of healthy independence and understanding of oneself and others. It's never too late to to get started! To avoid phone tag I am most accessible via e-mail.
