I work with children, individuals, couples, and families using play therapy, CBT, ACT, DBT-informed skills, the Gottman Method, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and parent coaching. As an LAC, I practice under Board-approved clinical supervision, providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each client’s unique needs.
I offer in-home and office-based therapy for children, teens, adults, and couples. I create a warm, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to each person’s needs, we’ll build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create lasting emotional well-being.
Seeking support is a sign of strength. Whether you’re a parent, an individual, or a couple, you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space where we can build insight, resilience, and stronger relationships together. When you’re ready, I’d love to hear your story.
