Nice to meet you

Hello, I'm glad you're here. As a Licensed Couple and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families and specialize in helping clients transform negative relationship patterns, increase connection, and navigate PTSD, relational trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance misuse. I strive to create a trustworthy space for healing and growth as I guide and challenge you on your journey toward meeting your goals. I approach therapy with the understanding that we are all impacted by our relationships, identities, and experiences, and I work collaboratively with clients to foster greater connection within themselves and their relationships.
