(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
I welcome & affirm clients of all identities and backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients navigate difficult life transitions, anxiety, & depression.
Hi there! Life is busy & gets overwhelming, which can lead to us sacrificing our mental health & forgetting what it’s like to feel happiness. When this happens, it becomes easier to look outside of ourselves to fill the void instead of harnessing what we already have within ourselves to cultivate happiness & wellness. Whether you are experiencing feelings of anxiety or depression, struggling with partner communication, or are going through difficult life transitions, I will use stress management tools, active listening, acceptance, strength building, & help you find the words to express how you are feeling to help process & guide. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), pull from Gottman when working with couples, & am client-centered, while also using an eclectic approach to create a collaborative & empathetic environment where we focus on your strengths & help support you to reach your goals.
