My interest in Marriage and Family Therapy stems from a desire to fill a gap that was present in my own community. Having had experiences where an unbiased sounding board could have been pivotal in navigating unstable relationships, I set a path that allowed me to be the change I wanted to see. The general philosophy that anchors my practice is “building healthy relationships one story at a time.” This includes the relationship with oneself. There is no one fits all solution to a problem, or one way of getting to a place of feeling well. This in mind I aim to listen, learn, validate, and advocate for what “works” for my clients.

I believe every human being has the right and the potential to enjoy the life they have been given; however, some encounter hardships that can shift one's perspectives and mood, making it difficult to access one's full potential. I enjoy working with individuals who are striving to identify with and reconnect to their purpose in life. With collaboration, I can help you move through depression, anxiety, trauma, and addictions.
