My Approach
Our relationships impact us in many ways: From shaping us into who we are, to how we show up to others. They can be linked with our physical, mental and emotional well-being in a variety of ways. With extensive education and training in the practice of marriage and family therapy, I am passionate about working with all relationships ranging from those between partners and families, to the ones we have with ourselves. The connections to our loved ones are an important facet of making us who we are, and nurturing those relationships is vital to your well-being.
I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing space where people feel empowered to explore their emotions, experiences, and relationships. I pull from evidence-based practices such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual, couple, or family.
Whether you are seeking support for relational challenges, struggling with an eating disorder, or dealing with the aftermath of trauma, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and resilience. Together, we can work towards creating deeper connections, fostering self-compassion, and reclaiming your sense of wholeness and well-being.

Experience
It was my own experience in individual and family therapy over the years that inspired me to enter the field. My education combined with real-life experience has provided me with the knowledge and skills necessary for this work. I have spent time working in an inpatient setting as well as private practice. Through this, I have gained a wide variety of experience in supporting clients as well as their loved ones in treatment throughout multiple levels of care. Throughout my training, I have learned to value a systems approach of viewing presenting issues with the overall belief that systems are constantly influencing and being influenced by one another. This allows me to work with clients to create a deeper understanding of these processes and develop treatment goals aimed at making small changes to create bigger shifts overall.
