I am honored to join my clients on their unique journeys, offering a safe holding environment to facilitate connection, healing, and growth. I favor a client-centered and integrative approach, providing empathy and unconditional positive regard as clients navigate a variety of concerns. I am passionate in my commitment to walk alongside clients as they develop the skills to foster more authentic and meaningful connections with both self and others.

I'm trained in EMDR and have completed Level 3 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, an approach based upon over 30 years of research. I work with adults and couples, helping my clients navigate their life experiences and relationships with hope, deepened insight, and the skills necessary to fully engage and thrive.
