About Me

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a passion for empowering individuals and couples to achieve lasting positive change. I believe in the human potential to overcome challenges and thrive. My diverse experience working with clients from various backgrounds has honed my ability to tailor my approach to each unique situation.

My Philosophy

Change can be daunting, but it is an essential part of personal and relational growth. My therapeutic approach emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual respect. I believe in empowering clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify areas for improvement.

Individual Therapy

Working one-on-one, we will explore the underlying factors contributing to your struggles, be it low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. We will work on identifying unhelpful patterns and developing strategies to manage your emotions, build self-compassion, and achieve your goals.

Couples Therapy

In couples therapy, I utilize the renowned Imago method developed by Harville Hendrix. This approach emphasizes understanding and appreciating each partner's unique perspectives, fostering open communication, and strengthening your connection. We will work together to resolve conflict, improve intimacy, and build a stronger foundation for your relationship.

Family Therapy

My experience also encompasses family therapy, utilizing a Structural Family Therapy model to address family dynamics, communication patterns, and conflict resolution. I am adept at guiding families through sensitive issues such as communication difficulties, sibling conflicts, and parent-child tension.

Trauma, PTSD & Recovery

I have specialized experience in treating trauma, PTSD, and related mental health challenges. I utilize evidence-based therapies and mindfulness techniques to help you process painful experiences, manage triggers, and reclaim your life.

Compassion and Support

My warm and supportive approach creates a safe space for you to explore your emotions, share your concerns, and work towards lasting change. I believe in empowering you to become the architect of your own healing and well-being.
