Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

My approach to therapy is grounded in honoring your unique story, experiences, and identities. I believe in working collaboratively to uncover what a satisfying and meaningful life looks like for you.
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—I trust that you know yourself best and sometimes just need the right support to move forward.

Clients come to me when…
They’re navigating struggles in their dating lives.
They feel stuck in mental loops that don’t lead anywhere.
They need support as they work through life’s stress and transitions.
Couples & Marriage Therapy
I help partners who feel overwhelmed by conflict and distance in their relationship learn tools for real communication and deeper understanding. By navigating disagreements with more clarity and empathy, they can rebuild their emotional connection. My goal is to help them feel more connected and hopeful about their future together.
Working with adults
I can help you get out of the exhausting cycle of overthinking and self-doubt that makes its way into your relationships. Together, we’ll explore why you get stuck in your head, uncover the patterns that keep you second-guessing yourself, and build trust in your own instincts. My goal is to help you feel more secure in yourself and your relationships so you can fully engage in life instead of holding yourself back.
