Welcome! I am thrilled that you are considering embarking on this therapeutic journey. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a wealth of experience, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients. While I have narrowed my focus over the years, I still enjoy working with clients from all walks of life, however, I only see adults in my practice. My specialties include working with women, young adults, minorities, and couples. As a strength-based therapist, I firmly believe that we all possess unique strengths and positive qualities that enable us to overcome the challenges we face. However, identifying these strengths can be difficult, and that's where I come in. I strive to help individuals and couples identify their strengths and use them to navigate even the most difficult times. Above all, I am here to listen to your experiences and stories. We all have different stories to tell, and I am committed to providing a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, valued, and respected. These are the most important qualities we desire as humans, and I not only teach them to couples but also practice them within my therapy room. My inspiration lies in helping individuals live authentic lives and fostering authentic connections within their relationships. It would be my pleasure to meet you and help you on your journey to healing and self-discovery.
