No matter what difficulties you are facing, you can overcome them and I will help you! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) which means my training and experience is in individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy.

Seeking the support of a psychotherapist is a positive step toward actively addressing and resolving emotions and situations that are troubling you. Many of my clients start therapy because they are feeling anxious or depressed, burdened by relationship struggles, or overwhelmed by life's demands. Others utilize the therapy experience as a way to improve personal happiness and explore self-improvement within themselves and with their relationships with others.
No matter what you may be feeling, please know that you, and your life, do have the potential to change. The therapy process helps change the way you think about challenges, how to respond in relationships, and how you care for yourself. It's my honor to guide my clients through the therapy process and leading them to a happier life. Together we can identify your goals, find solutions, and discover personal strengths.

I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate environment to help you heal and take charge of your life.
