Therapist

In therapy with me you will find that I emphasize acceptance of emotions, reframing negative thinking, and offering self-grace. I try to help you dig deeper to get the root issue that is causing you to be different than the way you want to be.

We are talking about you and your life, things that matter so I am open and non-judging, relaxed, and very real.

Something brought you here today. Maybe you're carrying something heavy that's hard to name. Maybe a relationship isn't working the way you hoped. Maybe life shifted in a way you weren't prepared for and you haven't felt like yourself since. Whatever it is — you're in the right place.

I work with individuals and couples navigating reproductive health, life transitions, and relationships. I specialize in infertility, pregnancy loss, and postpartum adjustment, as well as the moments when life leaves you feeling stuck, disconnected, or not quite yourself. With couples, I focus on communication, intimacy, and rebuilding trust and connection after rupture.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.

As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.
