I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a genuine passion for helping individuals find their true selves and embrace a life of fulfillment.

With over 10 years of dedicated practice, I have developed a profound understanding of the human experience and a strong commitment to creating a safe and nurturing space for my clients.

In therapy, my primary goal is to make each person feel seen, heard, valued, and “enough.”

I believe that by providing an environment where clients can be their authentic selves, free from judgment, healing and personal growth can flourish.

I walk alongside my clients with empathy and compassion as they navigate the challenges that life presents, offering unwavering support and guidance.

My Approach

In this image we can see a woman with her arms outstretched watching a sunset.

My approach is collaborative and client-centered, acknowledging that therapy is a deeply personal journey.

I believe in the importance of establishing a strong therapeutic alliance, working together with my clients to identify their goals and develop strategies to achieve them. By empowering individuals to take an active role in their own healing process, I foster a sense of agency and ownership, ensuring that clients feel valued and in control of their own lives.

With my extensive training and expertise, I draw from various therapeutic modalities to tailor my approach to each client's unique needs.

Whether it is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, or Mindfulness-based techniques, I combine evidence-based practices with a warm and empathetic presence.

Through this integrative approach, I support my clients in their pursuit of joy, serenity, and peace.

If you are searching for a therapist who will value your authentic self, empower you to achieve your goals, and help you discover lasting fulfillment, I am here to accompany you on your transformative journey.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in working with adults struggling to understand and heal from trauma, relational stressors, depression, and anxiety.
