About

As a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I am committed to making the therapeutic process both collaborative and compassionate. I view therapy as a partnership in which clients feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood.

I provide both in-person and virtual sessions to support flexibility and accessibility for clients. My intention is that our work together helps you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered in your life and relationships.

Treatment Approach

Rather than providing advice from a distance, I work directly with clients to examine patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that support meaningful, sustainable change. Whether you are facing relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, grief, or feelings of stagnation, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can be authentic.

My values are rooted in family and connection, which inform both my professional practice and personal life. I strive to embody mindfulness and presence, and I encourage clients to do the same.
