As humans, we are part of many systems from our colleagues, families, friends, and romantic partnerships, all of these relationships play a role in how we engage in the world. I truly value the experiences of others. I have significant experience working with college students with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I know it can be hard to transition from one stage of life to the next, so navigating life transitions has been a major part of the work I have done in supporting individuals. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, I work with families and couples struggling with communication and relational issues.

Sometimes we can feel as if on a mountaintop with a sense of clarity and other times in a valley unable to see the next step. Life is a journey with experiences and seasons where we can all use some help along the way. Whether it be marriage, dating, work, friendships, or family dynamics, relationships can be complex. Through life's complexities we can learn and grow. I believe everyone deserves to experience joy and live an abundant life. By living authentically to ourselves and others we can become the best version of ourselves. My desire is to meet you where you are and collaboratively work with you to reach your full potential.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and work from an integrative theoretical approach incorporating Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as Play Therapy with children.
When life becomes unpredictable and overwhelming it can feel isolating and lonely. As a therapist, my goal is to ensure that each client feels heard, validated and safe, always knowing that there is someone there to listen and provide support. At times, we can feel that we need to hide our anxiety, depression, relational issues and worries. I offer a place where you are able to fully be yourself, where it is okay, not to be okay. My goal for each session is for you to feel supported and empowered to overcome obstacles and create an environment that promotes positive change.
