I believe the opportunity to hold someone’s story gently, compassionately, and without judgment is an honor. Life can be far too difficult to process alone; I am here to walk with you through various seasons of life. Witnessing a client step into freedom and peace is a real joy for me! I approach the therapeutic relationship as a partnership. Through this partnership, I want to help you successfully reach your individual and relational goals!

I pursued the counseling profession as I realized how impactful therapy was in my own life. After experiencing significant grief from the loss of my mom, I wanted to support others on similar journeys.

She had studied the universe all her life, but had overlooked its clearest message: For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love. – Carl Sagan

This quote may be a little dramatic, but to me it’s a friendly reminder about two of the greatest tools we have for helping ourselves: perspective and curiosity. It’s also a reminder of the important role of relationships in our development, happiness, and success. Maybe you feel stuck with a personal problem, a relationship problem, or a different type of problem entirely. As a marriage and family therapist, I am trained to view these issues from a systemic perspective, considering your wants and goals without forgetting the importance of the context in which you live. I work within this systemic view to help individuals, couples, and families seeking to improve their relationships, set and meet goals, and overcome tough obstacles.

My style of therapy is solution-focused and person-centered. This means that while I ask a million questions, none of them have wrong answers. It means I’m not concerned about the “right” or “wrong” solution, but the solution that works for you. It means that I believe you are capable of overcoming your problems, even if you haven’t yet, and even if you’re not sure you can. Perhaps most important of all, it means that the guiding principles for the goals we set will be your own values and beliefs, whatever those may be. I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment where you can feel comfortable and empowered to make change.

I specialize in treating couples, families, children, and adolescents. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, emphasizing self-awareness and tailored to individual needs. Although I have an abundance of clinical experience, I believe what makes me most effective is that I never stop learning. I am always trying to better hone my clinical abilities and stay current with the clinical literature.

I help couples untangle their miscommunications and conflicts to regain the underlying love, attraction, and respect in their relationships. I value each person’s self-knowledge and believe in an empathetic approach that recognizes our respective awarenesses to work towards specific goals. I foster warm, supportive and nonjudgmental environments, where I aim to identify strengths and enhance communication to create lasting change.

I view every client as a special individual who also exists in a variety of relationships. Relationships are at the core of who we are as human beings, and each relationship helps define us as a unique individual. The people we surround ourselves with (whether voluntarily or as causes of an environment), as well as our experiences, are vital factors that make us who we are today. I believe therapy is a place where we get to understand the various parts of ourselves, where we can fully understand and integrate that awareness. Relationships can be difficult to navigate, but, with genuine curiosity and thoughtfully facilitated conversations, they can be thoroughly enjoyed in a healthy and meaningful way.

I strive to help clients figure out who they are individually, while also discovering who they are in the relationships they value, in a warm and culturally sensitive place. I value collaboration and an open-mindedness that helps individuals and couples grow into the best versions of themselves. Therapy and the act of sharing one’s personal life can be very intimidating; however, I would like to honor that courage and help clients build a stronger relationship with themselves and others. My approach to therapy is systemic and Adlerian-based, which means that I see most of life’s conflicts as conclusions we make about ourselves, others, and the world we live in. I believe these conflicts may originate from our familial structure, the role(s) we play in the family system, and how we function in society. By viewing our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through the lens of family relations and life experiences, I believe building up strengths and encouraging a sense of significance and belongingness helps cultivate meaning and context in life.

It is always a privilege and an honor to witness authentic and lasting change in my client’s lives. My priority as a therapist is to create a warm, non-judgemental, and safe environment for clients to process their emotions, relationships and experiences. You’ve made it here, which means you have already taken action for change.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, I’ve been trained to walk alongside couples and individuals through the most difficult seasons of life. I use evidence-based practices such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and The Gottman Method to help partners uncover underlying emotions and communicate more effectively for connection, compassion, and caring. Research shows that EFT typically helps 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery, and over 90% of couples report significant improvement. I am passionate about working with couples and assisting with identifying the deeper roots of their struggles, so that each partner can get what they need and the couple can rebuild from the ground up.

I believe that healthy relationships are key to living a happier and more fulfilling life. However, there’s no denying that relationships are hard, and sometimes even a little bit messy, especially when life throws unexpected obstacles our way. Relationships are complex, whether it be the relationship you have with yourself, or the ones with your parents, siblings, partner, family members, friends, or co-workers. Maybe you are having a hard time being kind to yourself, or you’re feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck. Perhaps you are feeling disconnected, frustrated, or unappreciated in your relationships. Or you might be on a journey of personal growth or seeking to strengthen your relationships, but you are not sure where to start. I view therapy as a space for clients to seek growth, explore helpful solutions, and cultivate meaningful relationships. I help individuals, couples and families connect with themselves, with others, and with the things that bring purpose to their lives to create lasting change. As a therapist, I believe you are the expert on your life, and I am simply the expert on creating change; we can work together to reach your goals.

My therapy style is collaborative and person-centered, meaning that I strive to meet you wherever you are in your mental health journey. I practice from an integrative perspective and draw from a combination of modalities to best meet your needs and goals. I promote growth by providing a safe, culturally inclusive, and LGBTQ-affirming space for you to feel seen, heard, validated, and empowered to create the change you are seeking.
