Registered Associate Marriage & Family Therapist

You may be seeking therapy for any number of reasons: perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed, alienated, unfulfilled, or hopeless. Maybe you’re dealing with a major life change, encountering patterns you don’t fully understand, feeling disconnected in your relationships, or just feeling stuck. Whatever the reason, you don’t have to face these challenges alone.

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating difficult experiences, including depression and bipolar disorder, thoughts of suicide, past trauma, relationship challenges, concerns about sexuality, life transitions, and more. I have a profound respect for my clients, their wisdom, and the courage they have in facing their struggles.

In our sessions together, we’ll address your most pressing concerns by examining how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact while also exploring deeper themes of meaning, identity, and the impact of our life choices. I strive to help my clients transform insights into real changes in their bodies, their relationships, and their lives.

My approach is warm and engaging. I believe the relationship between a client and their therapist is where healing begins, so I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer honest observations, and support you in confronting patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My hope is that, through our work together, you’ll strengthen connections, develop a deeper understanding of yourself and others, and leave with more clarity and renewed confidence in your ability to navigate life’s complexities.
