As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my goals are to create a safe and supportive environment in which all individuals can thrive, contributing to a healthier and happier family life.

I also value working with couples and individuals to explore the impact their family of origin or current relationships are having on their emotions and coping. Finding healthy ways to cope with the stresses of today's world can be challenging, and I'd welcome supporting you in your journey.

Congratulations on taking the first step and acknowledging the importance of your mental health!

Imagine a house is on fire, but the fire is only in one bedroom. What would you do? I think most people would call for help to extinguish the fire before it spreads. Now, imagine the house is you and the fire is whatever you're facing: depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, big life changes. Do you tell yourself "it's not that bad" or "people have it worse than me"? I want you to know that you don't have to wait till that fire spreads to all the other rooms. You don't have to wait to get help. What you are walking through and what you're feeling is valid. You deserve to feel whole.
