My thoughtful and respectful approach explores how behaviors, patterns, or habitual thoughts make sense in your life, in your relationship, and places it in the context of your social and cultural circles. It is my privilege to journey alongside you and the challenges life presents your way, and it is my passion to have intentional conversations in a way that supports folks in living more aligned, confident, and whole lives. If you’re ready to reclaim the vibrancy of your life and relationships, I look forward to walking alongside you on this journey. I can assure you that you are just a thought, a decision, or a conversation away from living the life that you deserve.

As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring life experience and a direct but easygoing approach to helping you with your mental health concerns. Primarily using a mix of Narrative and CBT Therapy (with other methods as needed), I help you discover your ability to work through the issues that are stopping you from being the best “you” possible. I work with Individuals, couples, families, children, and teens. I have experience with dealing with high-conflict divorce and the fallout it can cause. Whether you are a couple looking for a "tune-up", an individual going through a tough patch or you have a teen going through a difficult time, I can help.
