Completed Clinical Trauma Training
My therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in curiosity. I don’t see myself as the expert on your life. I see us as working together to understand the patterns, emotions, and the experiences that shape your relationships and sense of self. I work at a pace that feels safe for you, creating a space where honesty, vulnerability, and growth can naturally unfold. Above all, my approach is grounded in respect for your strengths, your story, and your capacity to heal. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life and relationships. Therapy with me will be a balance of insightful and practical work.
When you meet with me, you can expect a calm, welcoming space where you’re listened to with genuine care and without judgment. I aim to create the kind of safety that allows you to be open about your fears, frustrations, hopes, and the parts of your story that feel hardest to share. Our work may include exploring deeper emotional themes, developing practical communication tools, or understanding why certain patterns keep repeating. I bring warmth, collaboration, and consistency to every session, helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing and what can be changed. Most importantly, you can expect to feel seen, supported, and empowered as we work toward building healthier relationships, strengthening your sense of self, and creating a more grounded, confident, and connected life.
I’ve always been moved by the moments when people feel safe enough to be genuine and vulnerable. Creating a space where others can be truly seen felt meaningful, and I wanted to build a career around that. What inspires me most is the privilege of walking alongside people during their most courageous and vulnerable chapters, offering support, understanding, and clarity. At the core, I chose this field because I deeply believe in the possibility of growth, even when it feels out of reach.
I hope my clients develop a deeper trust in themselves and gain clarity and confidence that feel genuine and grounded. I want them to build relationships where they feel safe, valued, and understood, and to communicate openly, set healthy boundaries, and show up authentically. I also hope they learn to approach themselves with compassion, even in difficult moments. Most of all, I want my clients to feel empowered to break old patterns, choose relationships that nourish them, and live in alignment with their values. If they leave therapy with a stronger sense of resilience, wholeness, and possibility, then our work has been truly meaningful.
As a marriage and family therapist, I provide a calm, supportive space to explore what’s beneath the surface and make sense of the emotional dynamics shaping your relationships. Whether you’re facing partnership stress, family transitions, or past wounds, I help you move toward clarity, healthier communication, and deeper connection. My work centers on helping you understand your triggers without shame, express your needs confidently, and shift longstanding patterns. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel seen and empowered, and I’m here to support you in building resilience, trust in yourself, and relationships that feel safe and genuinely supportive.
