Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“What if the stories you believe about yourself could change? I help adults move beyond anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and performance pressure by building practical skills that create lasting mental wellness and help them reconnect with who they want to become.”

About Me

I believe mental wellness is not something you're born with; it's something you can learn and strengthen. My goal is to help you understand why your mind works the way it does while developing practical skills that create meaningful, lasting change. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, major life transitions, performance pressure, and the challenges that come with balancing work, relationships, and personal growth. Whether you're an athlete, academic, new parent, empty nester, or simply feeling stuck, therapy provides a space to better understand yourself and move forward with greater confidence. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based psychology while recognizing the connection between mind and body. Depending on your needs, our work may integrate mindfulness, somatic awareness, nutrition and lifestyle education, Brainspotting, NLP, and other approaches that support lasting emotional health. Above all, I believe people are capable of far more change than they often imagine. Therapy isn't about fixing what's broken; it's about helping you develop the skills and awareness to build the life you want.

Approach

Therapy should feel both supportive and useful. Rather than simply talking about problems, we work together to understand the patterns that keep you stuck and develop practical ways to create change. Sessions combine insight with action. We may explore how thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and life experiences interact while building skills that increase resilience, emotional flexibility, and self-understanding. Depending on your goals, this may include mindfulness, somatic awareness, Brainspotting, NLP, values clarification, or practical strategies you can apply between sessions. I view therapy as a collaborative process. My role is not to tell you who you should become but to help you discover the strengths, skills, and perspectives that allow you to move toward the life you want to create.
