Real healing begins when someone slows down enough to really understand you—not just your symptoms, but the patterns underneath them. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a steady, engaged space where we look closely at the cycles that keep you stuck and the strengths you may overlook.
I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship conflict. Using DBT, CBT, EMDR, and structured couples work, we build concrete skills, process unresolved experiences, and shift interaction patterns so change feels real—not just talked about.
I help clients build practical skills while processing trauma in a structured, evidence-based way. I’m passionate about working with couples to break negative cycles, improve communication, and rebuild trust and connection. I’m also certified to work with first responders and understand the cumulative stress and trauma their work can carry.
I know reaching out takes courage, but you don’t have to do this on your own. I’ll meet you with care and understanding as we explore your story and create a way forward—one step at a time, together.
