What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.
Hello! I am an Associate Marriage and Family therapist! Life can feel overwhelming at times—balancing work, relationships, family, or personal challenges can leave you stressed, stuck, or uncertain about your next steps. Seeking support is a sign of strength, you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I work with adults, teens, couples, families, and veterans, including those in high-stress careers or leadership positions, helping them manage pressure, prevent burnout, and find balance. I also support clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, chronic illness, substance use, and life transitions, including military-related changes. My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. Together, we’ll create a safe space to explore what’s weighing on you, break old patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and build resilience. Therapy is a partnership, and my goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, your relationships, and your sense of purpose. Change is possible—and you deserve to feel more at ease, confident, and empowered.

Some of my favorite approaches include...
Some of my favorite approaches include a client-centered, collaborative framework that prioritizes the unique strengths, experiences, and cultural background of each individual. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as CBT, mindfulness, positive psychology, and solution-focused strategies to help clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions. For couples, I use Gottman Method principles to improve communication, strengthen connection, and foster healthier relationship patterns.
I take an intersectional approach, considering how factors like culture, identity, and life circumstances shape experiences and coping strategies. I view the therapist-client relationship as a partnership built on trust, empathy, and collaboration, with the goal of helping clients develop resilience, achieve personal growth, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
How I help...
I help clients by creating a space where they feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Building strong rapport is at the heart of my work. I strive to connect with each person as a whole human being, not just a set of symptoms or challenges. My style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate, and I work to make therapy a safe place where clients can be honest, explore difficult emotions, and feel supported in taking meaningful steps toward change.
I focus on understanding each client’s unique experiences, values, and goals, and together we develop practical strategies to manage stress, improve relationships, navigate life transitions, and build resilience. My approach balances empathy with evidence-based interventions, helping clients feel both supported and empowered to create real, lasting growth in their lives.
I believe...
...that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and resilience, and that therapy works best when it is a collaborative, compassionate, and non-judgmental partnership. I believe that clients deserve to be seen and understood as whole humans, and that even small shifts in perspective, coping strategies, or relationships can lead to meaningful, lasting change.
What it's like in session with me
In session with me, you can expect a warm, calm, and supportive space where you’re free to show up exactly as you are. I take time to really get to know you, your personality, your strengths, your humor, your stressors, and I work hard to make therapy feel comfortable, human, and collaborative. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m real, down‑to‑earth, and easy to talk to.
Our work together will be a balance of empathy and practical strategies. I’ll listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and help you explore what’s underneath the surface while also giving you tools you can actually use in your day‑to‑day life. You won’t be judged, rushed, or expected to have everything figured out. Instead, we move at a pace that feels right for you, adjusting as we go.
My goal is for you to leave each session feeling understood, supported, and more confident about your next step—whether that’s setting a boundary, managing stress more effectively, improving communication, or simply feeling more like yourself again.
