I believe that our relationships define us at our core. That's why it's essential for our own well-being to proactively nurture relationships that may be struggling. As a trained Couple and Family therapist with nearly two decades of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping families overcome various obstacles that hinder their ability to create and maintain the quality of relationships they desire.

Trauma of any kind can deeply impact an individual's life and relationships. In my practice, I have specialized training in trauma-informed care. My approach focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals can process their experiences and begin to feel like themselves again. I am committed to helping those with PTSD reclaim their sense of safety and connection. I am trained in approaches designed to address trauma, including Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems.

I am dedicated to helping parents foster nurturing relationships with their children while also caring for their own well-being. In my practice, I have worked closely with parents facing a range of challenges, including those related to raising children with disabilities. My training equips me to provide tailored support, whether you're navigating special education systems, managing family dynamics, or seeking to strengthen your parenting skills.

I am deeply committed to offering culturally sensitive therapy to individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. I have extensive training in working with marginalized communities. My approach is rooted in understanding the impact of culture, identity, and systemic barriers on mental health. I tailor my therapeutic interventions to honor each client’s unique cultural experiences, ensuring they feel seen, respected, and understood.

My training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Brainspotting equips me to address trauma at its core. IFS allows clients to explore and heal the different parts of themselves that are affected by traumatic experiences. Brainspotting helps to process trauma stored in the body by identifying specific eye positions that correlate with emotional pain. Together, these approaches create a safe and supportive environment for clients to work through trauma and move towards recovery.

As a Couple and Family Therapist, I am dedicated to providing effective relationship counseling. I focus on helping clients address challenges such as communication breakdowns, trust issues, and conflicts. My training allows me to understand the complexities that can arise within relationships. Together, we can work toward creating meaningful, lasting relationships that reflect your unique identity and values.
