I am a relational and certified trauma therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families to improve communication, enhance satisfaction, and support healing.

Whether you are experiencing grief, a life transition, crisis of faith, relational miscommunication, or trauma-related issues, I work to create a safe therapeutic environment for you to process your needs.
