As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals and couples from a collaborative, compassionate, and relationship-centered perspective. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel safe, heard, respected, and understood. I strive to create a warm and nonjudgmental environment where clients can be open about their experiences and feel supported as they work toward their goals.

With individuals, I help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical skills for emotional regulation, coping, communication, and healthier patterns of thinking and relating.

With couples, I focus on strengthening emotional connection, improving communication, understanding relationship patterns, and helping partners feel more secure and connected to one another. Drawing from EFT and the Gottman Method, I help couples move beyond recurring conflict and develop greater understanding, empathy, and connection.

Ultimately, I view therapy as a collaborative process. My role is not to tell clients how they should live or relate, but to help them gain insight, develop effective tools, and build upon their existing strengths.

My Professional Background

I have extensive experience working with couples that struggle with communication, trust building, parenting, conflict resolution, and life transitions. I’ve also helped many individuals through anxiety and depression. I’ve been practicing for 5 years and am always striving to learn more in my role to better help my clients.

Fun Facts

I’ve been married for over 5 years to my husband. We have a 1 year old son who truly spoils us. When I’m not providing therapy, I’m with family, at a sporting event, or at home playing with my son and two cats. We love to laugh, make new memories, travel together, and spend quality time with one another.
