About me

The therapeutic environment offers a unique opportunity to share, confront, and enhance parts of ourselves while exploring and discovering deeper traits and skills that we may possess. As a therapist, I believe in empowering the individual through therapeutic experiences that foster a lasting change outside of the therapy setting. I cherish the opportunity to engage in this relationship and commit myself to doing the work with you and supporting your exploration. I value modeling transparency, care, boundaries, and healthy support systems. I believe that challenging dialogue in a safe environment leads to internal growth.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am in full support of recognizing our differences and utilizing dialogue that addresses their impact in our stories. It is my privilege and honor to bring full awareness to culture, gender, race, sexual orientation, and all other identifiers.

It is my pleasure to welcome each client and offer my services while recognizing the client as the expert of their story. My work has allowed me to care for clients that span from children to senior adults. I have conducted meaningful work around intimacy, sexual identity, relationship dynamics, and have supported LGBTQIA identified individuals.
