I am a marriage and family therapist dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families through their unique challenges. Specializing in Solution Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy, helping clients identify their strengths and rewrite their stories. Believing that our physical, mental, and emotional systems are intertwined, I advocate that changing one aspect can lead to transformations in all areas. I foster a therapeutic environment that promotes curiosity, trust, and mutual respect, empowering clients to learn new skills, heal from past experiences, and achieve greater alignment in their lives.
