You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward—and that’s completely okay. Whether you're experiencing depression, navigating relationship challenges, or facing a major life transition, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to support you.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a broad range of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. I’ve supported clients through a variety of emotional, relational, and life challenges, tailoring care to meet each person’s unique needs.
My approach is collaborative and strength-based, drawing on evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Positive Psychotherapy. I’ll help you develop practical coping skills, build emotional awareness, and reconnect with your personal strengths.
I believe in the inherent strengths and potential of every person. In our work together, we will focus on enhancing self-awareness, improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, and fostering personal growth. Please feel free to reach out for a complimentary phone consultation. I look forward to the opportunity to support you.
