Life can throw us some serious curveballs! Whether you're wrestling with the daily grind, navigating tricky relationships, or just feeling a bit lost, I'm here to help you unpack it all.

Beyond my MS in Marriage and Family Therapy, I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Exposure Therapy, Sex Therapy (AACECT), Brainspotting, and I'm a Prepare Enrich Certified Facilitator.
No matter who you are or what you’re currently struggling with, one thing is for sure: Your life (and your happiness) is deeply influenced by your relationships with other people. By things that happened in the past, yes. And also the dynamics and patterns that are playing out today. Do you feel frustrated and powerless about how others are acting or the ways their behavior is impacting you? Or perhaps stuck in your own misery and muck. No matter what the situation, you have far more choices and control than you think.

I also have experience with depression, anxiety, substance use, military families, sexuality and sexual health, emetophobia (phobia of vomit), phase-of-life challenges, uncertainty/anxiety about the future, kink/BDSM, and partner conflict/miscommunication.
I believe the single most important component of therapy is the unique and authentic relationship that is forged between therapist and client. Beyond this, my therapeutic approach is guided primarily by cognitive behavioral therapy, existentialism, and feminist therapy which together encourage empowerment, responsibility, authenticity, and acceptance.
