About Me
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I’m dedicated to guiding individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges, fostering deeper, more meaningful connections. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, creating a compassionate, safe, and engaging environment where growth and self-discovery thrive. My goal is to empower clients to navigate obstacles, deepen self-awareness, and create lives that are more fulfilling and enriched.
As a relational and systemic therapist, I take a holistic approach, recognizing how our connections with partners, family, friends, culture, and ourselves shape our experiences. I believe understanding these relationships is crucial for healing, growth, and lasting transformation. By exploring these dynamics, we can uncover the deeper layers that influence our behaviors and well-being, leading to lasting change.
With years of experience in private practice, I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families dealing with a range of issues, from relationship dynamics and family conflict to anxiety, trauma, stress, depression, grief, and chronic illness. My commitment is to offer compassionate, high-quality care that acknowledges your individual complexities. My aim is to enhance your emotional resilience and help you build and maintain meaningful relationships for a more fulfilled life.
My Approach
I use an integrative therapy model, combining behavioral, relational, and mindfulness strategies tailored to your specific needs. My approach is grounded in a strengths-based perspective, believing that everyone has the potential for positive change. By combining methods like Narrative Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Attachment Theory, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Family Systems Theory, I offer a personalized and comprehensive therapy experience that fosters healing and growth.
Each therapeutic experience is unique, so I focus on understanding you, your partner, or your family system to create a personalized journey.
