About Me

Hello, and welcome!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with extensive experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, substance use, emotional regulation, and major life transitions.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds who are facing complex emotional, psychological, and personal challenges. My professional experience includes providing individual therapy, supporting individuals in recovery, and serving in clinical leadership roles overseeing residential treatment programs.

I believe that understanding ourselves is an important part of creating meaningful change. Often, the way we think, respond to stress, manage emotions, and approach relationships is influenced by our past experiences. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore these patterns, gain a different perspective, and develop healthier ways of navigating life's difficulties.

My Therapeutic Approach

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can speak openly, feel understood, and explore difficult emotions without fear of criticism.

I incorporate cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based, trauma-informed approaches to help clients develop greater emotional awareness, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, improve relationships, and build effective coping skills.

I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about problems. It should help you better understand yourself, recognize what is within your control, and develop practical tools that support meaningful changes in your everyday life.

I value honesty, empathy, and genuine connection. My role is not to tell you how to live your life, but to help you gain clarity, recognize your strengths, and feel more confident making decisions that align with your values and goals.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with relationships, processing past experiences, or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to support you as we work toward positive, lasting change.

I look forward to working with you.
