Life can feel overwhelming especially when you’re trying to manage relationships, responsibilities, emotions, and still show up as the person you want to be. You may be noticing patterns that aren’t working anymore, feeling disconnected from yourself, or struggling to navigate stress. You’re not alone. I am here to offer a grounded empathetic space for you to slow down in an effort to make sense of what you’re carrying while feeling truly understood. I bring collaboration paired with a warm yet evidence based approach to aid you in reconnecting with yourself to create meaningful change.
I’m an AMFT with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Child Development and a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chico State. I work with teens, college students, adults, couples, & families who are navigating anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, attachment wounds, life transitions, trauma, grief, self-esteem challenges, & identity exploration.
In our work together I’ll invite you to be honest, curious, and open to exploring parts of yourself that may feel vulnerable or unfamiliar. My role isn’t to give you the answers, I am here to help you make sense of your experiences and access the insight you already hold.
