​

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 14 years of dedicated service in the mental health and substance use fields. My therapeutic approach is marked by compassion and directness, creating a non-judgmental and supportive environment that embraces individuals as they are. My philosophy centers on the belief that everyone is inherently whole, and through somatic and holistic practices, I facilitate a journey towards self-awareness, equipping clients with tools to regain control and self-trust.

My versatile skill set includes mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, and person-centered strategies, effectively addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, and body image. My unique perspective on emotional pain as a source of wisdom and emphasis on truth-telling as a path to healing

I believe so much of our pain is our bodies way of protecting us from deeper emotions like anger, grief, and fear. Blocking us from reaching our full potential, accepting who we are, and stepping out into the world of endless possibilities. This is an opportunity for you to understand, heal and integrate wisdom from your truth.

As a seasoned therapist, I embrace an eclectic approach to mental health, dedicated to meeting clients in their current reality. My practice is grounded in empathetic listening and guided support, empowering individuals and couples to navigate life's complexities with less distress and greater fulfillment.

My therapeutic journey was shaped by a personal understanding of mental illness and addiction within my own family. This profound connection fuels my mission to contribute to a world that's not only better but also freer and happier.

Specializing in couples therapy, I am passionate about enhancing intimacy through effective communication. Yet, my practice is not limited to relationships; it extends to individual self-development, behavior management, and crisis intervention. By fostering a nurturing, judgment-free environment, I ensure that no topic is off-limits, allowing for authentic expression and growth.

In setting goals, I believe in the client's autonomy. Therapy is a non-linear path where goals can evolve, mirroring the dynamic nature of personal progress. During our initial session, we'll explore your history briefly, but more importantly, we'll identify immediate concerns to establish coping strategies that will sustain you beyond our meetings.

Embark on a therapeutic journey with me, where your comfort is paramount, and your growth is our shared success.

 I find that I work best with clients in the LGBTQIA2+ community, youth ages 7-17, adults, couples, foster youth, anxiety, depression, everyday stressors of life, parenting difficulty, generational trauma/dysfunction, trauma, and addictions.

I am a therapist who has completed EMDR trainings, CFTSI, and TF-CBT. I practice eclectic therapy, meaning I utilize several techniques in a session. My common Go To's include CBT, Narrative Storytelling, Gestalt, Humanistic, Experiential, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Focused, psychodynamic, Solution-Focused, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

All of us have experienced some sort of trauma and stressors. I believe that we all need a chance to talk to someone who is unbiased and willing to challenge our way of thinking. I believe we can all build resilience if given the ability and that we can all heal if we can quiet our minds. I look forward to working with you and helping you become the best you.

I am a Mental Health Therapist on a mission to help people navigate the wild ride of life.
