I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nearly 15 years of experience working with youth, adolescents, adults, and families to improve their mental health. I specialize in addressing issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship issues, parenting issues, and more. While I rely on my skills in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundation for treatment, I may also use modalities such as Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in building a plan of care to best suit their needs.

My journey to mental healthcare
I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether it was volunteering in my community, or being a trusted and loyal friend, I have always naturally been drawn to helping people through difficult times. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust between us, and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we will work together to set goals and track your progress.
My first session with you
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, and dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
