Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
I strive to create a warm and empathetic environment where all feel heard and valued.
Hello! Thank you for considering me to support you on your mental health journey. I specialize in helping college students navigate the challenges of academics, social life, finances, and much more. College can be exciting, but also overwhelming, and finding the right therapist is an important part of the process. Research shows that feeling comfortable with your therapist is crucial for progress and significantly contributes to people feeling better, which is why I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. I take an eclectic approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT). Starting therapy can be daunting, but I strive to create a warm, empathetic environment where you feel heard and valued. I focus on strengths and utilize compassion and humor to foster a strong, trusting relationship. We will work together to help you achieve your goals. When you're ready, reach out by phone or email—whichever feels most comfortable for you.
