I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working with families, individuals, and couples. I help clients explore and cope with painful emotions, behavioral challenges, and stressors using a collaborative approach that integrates human-centered, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I understand that seeking therapy takes courage, and I work with compassion to create a safe, empowering space. Together, we’ll develop personalized treatment goals to address your unique needs. My goal is to help everyday people overcome challenges and live their best life.
Knowing that it takes courage for people to seek therapy, I work with compassion to create a therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe, understood, and empowered. I will listen carefully to your concerns and will work with you to develop treatment goals tailored to your individual needs.
