As a marriage and family therapist, I believe deeply in the power of connection, understanding, and safe space. My approach is rooted in compassion, active listening, and a genuine respect for each person's unique journey. Whether you are navigating relationship challenges, family transitions, or personal struggles, my goal is to provide a calm, supportive environment where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to heal. I work closely with couples to rebuild trust, deepen emotional connection and navigate conflict with greater understanding.
Much of my work centers around healing from trauma, whether relational, developmental, or situational. I integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process painful memories and move forward with greater clarity and ease. I offer a calm, steady presence and together, we move at a pace that feels safe and respectful.
If you or your loved ones are struggling, please know that support is available. I invite you to reach out. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your path toward healing and connection. I offer free, 15 minute phone consultations or 30 minute, in person, meet ups if you would like.

I use trauma-informed practices to build a safe environment for growth and healing. EMDR is a proven therapy that reprocesses past trauma. Trauma creates negative beliefs that live in our bodies. EMDR brings healing and creates positive beliefs around old stories. Healing from trauma is possible!

My work is rooted in attachment-based therapy, which means I focus on helping you understand the ways early relational experiences shape how you connect with others, and with yourself, today. I believe that healing happens through connection, and that feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted is a powerful step toward growth.
