With over a decade of experience, I’ve found that effective psychotherapy begins with a genuine, collaborative relationship built on trust and safety—while offering enough challenge to inspire growth.
My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, intuitive, and optimistic. I take a person-centered, relational approach, actively engaging with you to explore your concerns. I integrate evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Family Systems, tailoring each session to support your healing and promote meaningful, lasting change.

Approach Description: Whether you’re seeking to heal a relationship or rediscover your personal strength, therapy offers a transformative path to growth. In couples counseling, I help partners repair broken communication, rebuild trust, and restore intimacy. Relationships require continuous effort and a willingness to change damaging patterns. With honest feedback and practical tools, I guide couples toward deeper connection and resilience. In individual therapy, I empower women to embrace fulfilling, meaningful lives rich with experiences and self-discovery. Together, we’ll explore your emotions, uncover new possibilities, and create a personalized plan to help you achieve your dreams and fullest potential.
