Introduction

I work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan—from teenagers through elders—navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the relational patterns that often accompany them. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC), I help clients understand how past experiences shape present-day relationships, reactions, and beliefs while building greater awareness, confidence, and resilience. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family and Marital Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to meet you where you are. You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for change, I'm here to offer a space where you feel heard and understood.
