I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, including 6 years providing therapy. My goal in session is to help you feel comfortable, at ease, and able to be yourself—without judgment.

I believe that when people feel safe and supported, real growth can happen. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, and I focus on creating a space where you can talk openly, make sense of what you’re going through, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming in—we can take it one step at a time together.
