ABOUT ME

I was drawn to the therapy field early in life while going through my own losses, traumas, and unexpected life curveballs, and learning the power of an empathetic ear, genuine curiosity, and presence that made me want to help people going through their own painful experiences. I am a highly creative, curious person with a sense of humor, and welcome all parts of individuals that makes them unique. When I’m not working as a therapist, I enjoy playing my ukulele, drawing, crafting, and spending time with my friends, family, and beloved cat. I also enjoy binging my favorite comfort shows over and over.

My Therapy Approach

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I come from a systemic background with focus on how your upbringing and relationships impact who you are today. No concerns are too big or too small-if it matters to you, it matters to me. I believe therapeutic success involves not getting rid of parts of you that struggle but uncovering your inner strengths to cope and reduce symptoms in healthy ways, in addition to acknowledging accomplishments big or small, and trusting the process, as change may take longer or look different than you may expect. I am also a Certified Geek Therapist and can utilize your favorite characters, stories, and interests to make your therapeutic journey as unique as you are. I have worked with a variety of couples, families and individuals navigating concerns such as grief and loss, gender identity, sexuality, relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and chronic medical issues. I believe in acting as a guide to support you in living your healthiest, most authentic life. I am an integrative therapist, informed by Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, ACT, CBT, and Bowenian Family Therapy.

My favorite fandoms include Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel, Disney, and anything in the Wizard of Oz universe. I am also an avid fan of rock music and sketch comedy.
