Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. For 24 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people like you navigating the winding road to adulthood. I know how therapy can transform a clouded sense of self into a strong foundation of self-worth and connection. Because I’ve seen this growth in my clients—and experienced it in my own journey—I have immense respect for the courage you’re showing by being here. As a dual-licensed clinician (LMFT/LPCC) and school counselor, I’ve worked in schools, clinics, and hospitals. This gives me insight into the unique, modern pressures you are facing.
I adjust my therapeutic approach to fit my client's unique personality, resources, and concerns. My overriding goals include client safety, long lasting positive change, and greater life satisfaction. I specialize in: Relational difficulties, grief and trauma, adjustment challenges, anxiety and depression, adolescent treatment, and premarital and couples counseling.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Credentialed School Counselor. Working in such different settings, including, a highly performing school district and a intensive non-public school, has helped me to learn that we are all vulnerable to our environments and can benefit from guidance and therapy!

I use a fluid, integrated approach to help you feel understood and empowered. We'll use Mindfulness to respond to stress with intention, and CBT and DBT to reframe perspectives and build practical coping skills. By incorporating Family Systems, we'll explore how your history shapes your current relationships. This holistic blend provides a clear, purposeful path toward a more satisfying life.
