If you’re reading this, you may be navigating relationship challenges, grief, isolation, anxiety, depression, family stress, low self-worth, or parenting struggles. You don’t have to go through it alone. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can safely explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. As a person-centered therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I take a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach to care. I tailor each session to your unique needs, helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered as you move toward healing.
The foundation of effective therapy begins with a strong, trusting connection—one where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood. My approach centers on creating that space for you. I specialize in supporting clients facing depression, anxiety, body dysmorphia, marital and relationship conflict, LGBTQ+ concerns, and stress management.
Together, we’ll clarify your goals, explore the patterns shaping your life, and work collaboratively toward meaningful, lasting change. My role is to guide, support, and empower you every step of the way as you navigate your unique journey toward healing and growth.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
