I don't believe there is an ideal client. I believe everyone is different and needs someone to realize that their experiences are unique and important.

As your Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), my commitment is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions and experiences. Your well-being is my top priority, and I am honored to support you every step of the way.

The decision to find a therapist for your child or adolescent is fraught with anxiety. Parents are taking a risk in choosing to share their children and their vulnerabilities with me. In my work I have the utmost respect for this decision and appreciate how challenging it is. So often you worry about what you did wrong or feel powerless to help. You may feel like you've tried everything or that you've failed. You may blame yourself or feel like you are failing your child in some way, or like you just need someone who can help.

I respect the vulnerability and courage it takes to make that first call for help. Navigating through life's struggles can be challenging and leave you feeling confused, frustrated and alone.

I offer an honest and caring approach to psychotherapy for Individuals, Couples, and Families.
