About me
I am passionate about creating a safe and compassionate space where clients can improve their marriage or committed relationships. We explore their perspectives, foster empathy, and develop practical strategies for growth. I believe in tailoring therapy to each client’s journey, with cultural and relational sensitivity.
As someone who has navigated complex relationships firsthand—including experiences with
addiction in loved ones, being part of divorced/blended families, and working with incarcerated
individuals—I bring a deep well of compassion and lived insight into therapy. My clients appreciate my warm
demeanor, effective analogies, and ability to balance lightheartedness with deep emotional work,
helping them build understanding, resilience, and connection. I utilize a client-centered approach tailored to your unique journey, with a strong foundation in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 2 trained). Through evidence-based
techniques and practical interventions, I thoroughly assess relationship dynamics and help identify
paths for meaningful change.
