About me
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. With over a decade of experience, I help individuals and couples navigate through life's challenges and achieve emotional stability to a higher level.
My passion for helping others present within me stems from growing up in a family where mental health was a part of our everyday conversations, as my father had a career working in community mental health.
As a military spouse, I understand firsthand the unique challenges of transitions and constantly having to put down new roots every few years. Navigating the stressors and the complexities of relationships and parenting in the military is hard but you don’t have to do it alone.
I believe that every person is unique and deserves a personalized therapeutic plan. Using a strengths-based, solution-focused approach to understand my clients' needs, I strive to incorporate effective and research-based interventions in my therapies such as utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method.
In my practice, I work to create a safe and inclusive space where clients can feel heard, supported, and empowered. I am a kink-positive, sex worker allied, and LGBTQ+ allied therapist, providing affirming and non-judgmental support to individuals with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and non-traditional lifestyles.
Life can throw us unexpected situations, but I'm here to help you navigate through them. My goal is to empower you to work through difficult areas in your life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and I work with my clients to develop personalized goals and strategies for overcoming challenges. So, if you are feeling overwhelmed, know that you're not alone.
