I am a Marriage and Family Therapist working with teens, adults, couples, and families through life’s challenges and transitions. My person-centered approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in acceptance, honoring your experiences, values, and strengths. Sessions with me are laid-back and conversational, rather than rigid or clinical, with creativity and flexibility woven in to help you feel comfortable and engaged. Together, we explore patterns, strengthen communication, and build insight at a pace that feels right for you.
My style is laid-back, approachable, and accepting. Sessions often feel conversational and supportive rather than clinical or rigid. I bring creativity and flexibility to the work, adapting our sessions to help you feel most comfortable and engaged. I value authenticity, humor when appropriate, and meeting you exactly where you are—whether that means
Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. If you’re looking for an accepting, down-to-earth therapist, I’d be honored to connect and take that first step with you.
