I am a couples and individual therapist with over 20 years of experience working with women, men, children, and families. I am Gottman-trained in couples therapy and have worked with couples facing communication breakdown, conflict, and infidelity. I also support clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, substance use, and mood disorders. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive, helping clients move toward strength, clarity, and lasting change.
I help individuals and couples navigating complex relationships, trauma histories, identity challenges, and cultural or societal pressures. I've worked in a variety of diverse settings and aim to provide a grounded, nonjudgmental space to unpack your narrative and work towards positive, sustainable change.
Your lived experience is uniquely yours, and I honor that by creating a space where you can explore who you are without being told who to be. You bring trust, openness, and commitment to the process; I bring my clinical background and experience. From there, we can understand your story and clarify the direction your growth could take.
