Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and reaching out for support can be an

important first step toward feeling better and creating meaningful change. I am a

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with several years of experience working with

children, adolescents, adults, and families.

My experience includes working with community programs, mental health services, and

private practice. I have worked with individuals and families experiencing trauma,

emotional and behavioral challenges, family conflict, and difficult circumstances

involving foster care. I have also worked with youth transitioning to adulthood and

individuals in the justice system. In addition, I have provided clinical supervision to

interns and delivered professional training within the field.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, respected, and empowered to make

change. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, drawing from CBT, DBT,

Family Systems, and trauma-informed care. Together, we can identify patterns that may

be getting in the way, develop practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and work

toward your set goals.
