I am a compassionate, direct and interactive therapist.

I work with each individual to help them identify and build upon their strengths.  I believe that the person is not the problem, the problem is the problem.  I collaborate with my client's and help them step away from problem saturated and oppressive stories, to discovering and/or creating new untold stories which include preferred accounts of their lives, hopes, values, dreams and relationships.

Children/Adolescents, Depression, Anxiety

As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals develop greater self-awareness, self-empowerment, and confidence in their ability to create meaningful change. I enjoy working with individuals who are navigating life stressors that continue to feel heavy long after they "should" have passed - whether that looks like persistent worry, feeling stuck, difficulty finding motivation or purpose, or struggling to move forward after challenging experiences. 

I also have a deep passion for working with children and helping them recognize their strengths, build confidence, and see the incredible potential they already possess. I believe that what may feel like a weakness can often become a strength with support, understanding, and the right tools. I believe every child deserves the opportunity to feel empowered, understood, and supported in becoming a confident, resilient little human while experiencing the joyful and fulfilling childhood they deserve. 

Together, we can explore the impact of past experiences, understand how they have shaped who you are today, and work toward healing the parts of yourself still carrying old wounds through compassion and self-understanding.
