When I think about what life is about, I always come to the same conclusion: relationships. These relationships—whether familial, platonic, romantic, or even with ourselves—cannot help but influence every aspect of our lives. As a therapist, I help clients not only maintain but also strengthen and enforce their relationships; I draw from a systemic lens that utilizes Narrative and Solution-focused approaches.

Many of my clients feel stuck or have reached an impasse in their lives that they have not yet been able to find a way around. Many feel frustrated, or even doubt that it will get better. Many are feeling overwhelmed with chronic stress, feel exhausted, and keep pushing themselves to pull through. Many, understandably feel they have to do it themselves and know of no other way of being. I find working with these strong individuals to be the most rewarding, as I feel honored to witness their meaningful process unfold.

I am an inclusive female Associate Marriage & Family Therapist that works with all populations. I provide an open, caring, safe, judgment-free space where the authentic you can shine. Everyone has experienced loss, grief, anxiety, depression, and disconnection. Through our experiences, we can learn more about ourselves and our role in this world.

I love to connect with teens, adults, and couples to overcome things like family conflict, relationship issues, academic and social challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, and grief. With adults and teens, I draw on CBT and attachment techniques to strengthen connection and communication within families and help clients gain insight, develop a healthy identity, and meet their goals. With couples, I use the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach to resolving conflict, feeling understood, and increasing emotional connection.
