I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about helping individuals, couples, children, and families navigate anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
I strive to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves and work toward meaningful growth.
My approach is compassionate and collaborative, helping clients build healthier coping skills, improve communication, and feel more connected to themselves and others. I am also certified in play therapy and enjoy using creative and developmentally appropriate approaches when working with children and families.
