Over the years, I've worked with people dealing with anxiety, depression, coping with aging, life transitions, bipolar disorder, substance use, trauma, LGBTQIA+ identity, and the weight that comes from carrying too much for too long. I work individually with adults and seniors, and I understand what it feels like to want change but not quite know where to start. My goal is to help you figure that out, one step at a time.

Are you finding it hard to navigate everyday life? Are your relationships suffering? If you answered “yes” to these questions, please know you CAN live a different life. Relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and many other problems are challenging, to say the least. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, learn coping strategies, and improve your relationships. You do not have to go it alone when therapy is available.

What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.

I’m a therapist who specializes in supporting individuals and couples through some of life’s most overwhelming and tender seasons. Whether you’re navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy or postpartum, struggling with intrusive thoughts or anxiety, feeling stuck in depression, or working to strengthen your relationship, you don’t have to do it alone.

I have a particular passion for perinatal mental health, helping clients adjust to identity changes, manage expectations, and process the emotional ups and downs that can come with trying to conceive, pregnancy, and early parenthood. I also work closely with individuals experiencing OCD, anxiety, and depression, providing tools to reduce distress and build a greater sense of control and confidence.

For couples, I offer a supportive space to improve communication, rebuild connection, and navigate conflict in a more productive and meaningful way.

My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward.
