About

Passionate about helping others grow and become the best version of themselves, I believe in creating a safe space where honest conversations can lead to lasting change and improved quality of life. My counseling style is empathic, collaborative, and person-centered. I follow a Solution-Focused approach to help you reach your wellness goals through self-empowerment. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 10 years of experience in diverse settings. I draw from a variety of theoretical orientations to help find solutions that work for you including, DBT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. “Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.” – Arthur Ashe
