Updated 9/30/25: Are you feeling stuck between who you were raised to be and who you want to become? Do old family wounds keep showing up in your work, dating life, or friendships? You’ve worked hard to succeed — but self-doubt or past hurts still get in the way. I have a passion for working with young adults navigating early adulthood build confidence and direction as they launch careers, form healthy relationships, and heal unprocessed childhood wounds. My approach blends evidence based practical tools with insight-oriented therapy so you can show up as your best self at work, in love, and in life.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore what’s happening in your mind and body. I specialize in all things relationships — family, partners, dating, or your relationship with yourself. Using advanced training in the Gottman Method, I offer up-to-date, practical tools to help you build healthier connections every day.
I received my Master's degree from AAMFT accredited Marriage & Family Therapy program at Northern Illinois University. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Oklahoma State University. I am licensed as an MFT in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida & Texas. Reach out today for a free consult to see how I can help.
