I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I began my clinical training journey in 2014. Over the years I have gained clinical experience working with adults, teens, and families. In addition, I have supported a variety of populations that include victims of human trafficking, individuals with eating disorders, and adolescents struggling with mood and behavioral challenges. The clients I worked with reported symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, work-life balance, and other personal stressors.

At the heart of our struggles and pains are relationships. At the heart of our hopes and dreams are relationships. Whether it is your relationship with anxiety and depression, with your career, with your partner, sister, son, daughter, boss, or parent-everything is about relationships. Therapy helps you tackle some of the most challenging questions we all face. How do we repair what needs to be fixed in our relationships, including the relationship with ourselves? What needs attention, a new perspective, a better skill, or emotional resolve to enable you to become more authentic and improve your connection to self and others?

I have worked with a wide variety of clients dealing with a range of symptoms. I enjoy working with different clients from adults to kids and individual, families, couples and groups and I believe we can all learn from each other.

I understand that life challenges, both big and small, can affect people's mood and productivity. I am caring, compassionate, understanding and a great listener. I provide a very non-judgmental and caring space for clients to explore the challenges they are faced with.

Do you work hard to appear confident, professional, and together on the outside, while feeling anything but inside? Perhaps you are frequently anxious or find that problems like ADHD, learning differences or relationship struggles are holding you back. Many talented professionals see the life they want but can’t seem to find their way. If you’re experiencing setbacks and frustrations, you don’t have to go it alone. Sometimes you need an outside person who can help you clear the obstacles within yourself so that you can fulfill your potential.

Rather than fixating on the problems, I help clients explore solution-focused pathways rooted in their strengths to move forward. I offer positive psychology coaching to help clients discover a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, and enjoyment in life. Positive psychology is “the science of happiness” and researches "what makes life worth living". Together, we go above fixing what already exists, spark new imagination, and design the wholehearted life that you aspire to have. With a compassionate approach, I empower clients to get “unstuck”, remove potential barriers, and navigate new approaches to cultivate a more vibrant future.
