About me
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and hold a Doctorate in Psychology (Psy.D.), with a focus on trauma and relationship dynamics. My work is deeply rooted in helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges, heal from past wounds, and create healthier, more fulfilling connections. With a background in both trauma therapy and self-development, I take a client-centered, compassionate approach to guide my clients toward growth, resilience, and healing. I integrate evidence-based practices with a genuine commitment to supporting personal transformation, whether it’s addressing past trauma, improving relationships, or fostering self-development.
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here.
People often tell me I’m easy to talk to—that opening up feels more like chatting with an old friend than sitting in a therapist’s office. That’s exactly the space I hope to create: one where you feel safe, seen, and understood, without pressure or pretense.
At the core of my work is a deep care for people. I don't just listen to your story—I aim to truly understand it. My strength as a clinician lies in seeing beyond the surface, gently uncovering the deeper patterns, pain points, and roots of struggle that often shape our present.
I also believe healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. I like to bring in a little humor when it fits, and keep our conversations grounded, human, and real. Whether you're navigating a life transition, emotional pain, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck—I’m here to walk alongside you.
Let’s make sense of things together, one honest conversation at a time.
