It is an honor and blessing to work with individuals and families wherever they are on their life journey. I deeply admire your courage in seeking help and support, and I am committed to providing a safe and welcoming space for your healing and growth.

With a warm, non-judgmental, and genuine approach, I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship, as I believe this is the foundation of meaningful change. I also recognize the value of humor and laughter in the healing process and enjoy incorporating it appropriately into our work together. Above all, I view you as the expert in your own life, and I am here to support you as we navigate the changes you wish to make.

I have been working with children and families for the past 17 years and have been a therapist for the last 14. My areas of expertise include anxiety, trauma, grief, blended families, co-parenting, relationship issues, codependency, and addiction. Over the years, I have gained a deep understanding of the complexities families face and the importance of fostering resilience, connection, and understanding within family systems.

Couples Counseling
I am passionate about helping couples rediscover and rebuild their emotional connection and intimacy. Whether you feel stuck in recurring patterns of conflict or are seeking to restore your relationship, I offer a compassionate and effective approach to guide you through this process. I also enjoy working with couples preparing for marriage, as well as parents considering separation who wish to co-parent effectively and prioritize the well-being of their children.

Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based methods, including Motivational Interviewing, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, and systems theory. This combination allows me to tailor my work to your unique needs while fostering a deeper understanding of your relationships and patterns. Together, we will explore your goals and develop strategies to create lasting change and fulfillment in your life.

It is my privilege to walk alongside you on this journey, and I look forward to supporting you in reaching your goals.
