Welcome. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and a Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner (CPRP) dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
Whether you are navigating severe mood disorders, relationship conflicts, or the heavy weight of trauma and grief, I provide a practical, goal-oriented space to help you heal. My clinical expertise spans a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, panic disorder, self-injurious behaviors, substance use, workplace stress, and significant life transitions.
I believe therapy is a collaborative "team" approach. Together, we will look at your story to see what has worked for you in the past and what hasn't. My practice is deeply rooted in a culturally sensitive framework, ensuring that clients from all backgrounds feel safe and fully seen.
To support your journey toward lasting change, I dynamically blend several proven, evidence-based tools:
Family Systems & Psychodynamic Theory
Cognitive & Dialectical Behavioral Therapies (CBT/DBT)
Solution-Focused & Client-Centered Care
Mindfulness-Based Practices
