Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, especially when you’ve been carrying your concerns on your own. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, relationship challenges, a major life transition, or simply feeling overwhelmed, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down, gain clarity, and explore what you need.
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with diagnostic privileges and a PhD candidate, experienced in working with individuals, couples, and families in high-need, complex systems. With a background in crisis intervention and supporting behavioral challenges, I’m here to guide people who feel stuck or uncertain about their next steps and want support developing healthier coping strategies, improving relationships, and creating meaningful change.
I invite you to reach out when you’re ready. Collaboration and your strengths are at the center of how I work, so we will work together to better understand what you are experiencing, build on your strengths, and identify meaningful steps toward the life and relationships you want. Your story matters, and you deserve a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported.
I specialize in anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, behavioral concerns, and supporting individuals, couples, and families through complex or stressful experiences, with an emphasis on helping you develop practical coping skills. To do that, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy, so you can better understand your experiences, strengthen your relationships, and work toward meaningful change.
Therapy is a collaborative process, and the change you create should align with your goals and values. I create a space where you can feel respected and comfortable being honest about what you’re experiencing. Together, we’ll explore your concerns, identify patterns that may be getting in the way, and develop practical strategies that fit your needs and goals. Because I believe you are the expert on your own life, my role is to provide guidance, support, and a different perspective while helping you recognize your strengths and build confidence in your ability to make that change.
My path to becoming a therapist grew from a genuine desire to understand people, their experiences, and the challenges that can shape the way we see ourselves and our relationships. Over the years, my work with individuals, couples, and families has deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and individualized care. Curiosity, empathy, and a nonjudgmental approach are what I bring to each session as you work toward the changes that matter most to you.
I believe that asking for support is a strength, and therapy can be a place to reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater confidence.
I love spending time with family and watching movies, especially romantic comedies and adventure and action films. I also find enjoyment in humor and entertainment.
