About

I am not the kind of therapist who quietly takes notes and asks you, “How does that make you feel?” I am not invested in keeping you in therapy for years on end. I am invested in you! I am elementary to talk to. I have a unique style that is interpersonal, respectful, and creative. If you have felt stuck with former therapists, take a chance with me. I look through a different lens. If you want to start the counseling process, do you want to make some changes in your life? Improve your relationships? Find healing? Process what you’ve been through? Gain perspective? Feel better? I can help you. I am a supportive, authentic therapist with a holistic approach to wellness. I provide a relaxed environment for clients to process their lived experiences, work toward their goals & make healthy life changes. As a marriage and family therapist, I offer guidance to individuals, couples, and families dealing with issues that affect their mental health and well-being.
