Introduction

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings authenticity and skill to the work of healing. I specialize in trauma and PTSD recovery, and I'm equally passionate about supporting people through family conflict, burnout, perfectionism, and the relational struggles that show up across life transitions. Whether you're a college student finding your way, a burned-out professional, or someone navigating the complexities of attachment and connection, I meet you where you are. My approach draws from multiple evidence-based modalities—including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused work, trauma-informed care, and person-centered practice—tailored to what resonates with you. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups across the lifespan, from young adults through elders. If you're ready to explore what's possible when you have skilled, genuine support, I'd welcome the opportunity to work with you.
