At Sterling Connection Therapy, I believe healing happens through connection. I know starting therapy can feel daunting, and finding the right therapist can be challenging. Taking that first step is not easy, and I am here to support you through it. Change begins in the relationship between client and therapist, built on trust, empathy, and collaboration. Together, we will navigate vulnerability to support trauma recovery, enhance self understanding and confidence, deepen your relationships with others, and cultivate resilience.
As an LMFT, I work from a systems lens, seeing how relationships and environments influence who we are. I support clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, self esteem, grief, and life transitions. I also help couples improve communication, deepen intimacy, resolve conflict, and guide them through marriage or new life chapters together.
I provide a warm, welcoming space to explore challenges, uncover strengths, and create meaningful change. I’m deeply passionate about supporting clients on their journey and offer collaborative, caring therapy. I also offer a complimentary 15-minute call to answer questions and help you feel confident starting therapy.
