I’m so glad you’re here. 
My journey as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist has been an incredible 20+ years of helping individuals and families find balance, healing, and hope. I began my own therapy journey when I was 10 for family therapy, continued in individual therapy as an adult and (thankfully) found a partner who has gone to couples counseling with me as we have created our family.

I believe finding the best therapist is a blend of education & personal connection. I am open to sharing what I’ve learned along my journey as well as research based strategies to support your goals and your growth. 

Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey.

Together, we can create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with strength and resilience.

because I have been there. 

As a Mom: finding out I’m pregnant, multiple miscarriages, medical complications, and all the things related to feeding a baby... Then taking all the trainings and certifications and learning how to actually apply the information in real life, I am better positioned to help you reach a feeling of peace and contentment.

As a Partner : it is incredibly complex to join two people from two different backgrounds and life experiences to create a cohesive, happy home (especially when you're trying to add another little human into the mix). I provide concrete, practical tools and skills to help you navigate the challenges that you're facing. I have completely fallen in love with the tools of the Gottman Method. It's achievable and I’ve been able to apply them to so many different situations and areas of my life (marriage included).

With Addictions:  I have learned the patterns that it creates and the reality that it distorts through 20+ years of working side by side with people struggling. I have worked in various levels of care from attending community 12 step meetings, Outpatient care, Intensive Outpatient, Residential and Detox. I have built family programs for residential centers to support the loved ones that have been collateral damage to the unsatisfying appetite that addiction creates. I have truly seen this from every angle which gives me a unique clarity and I am now able to share with others who are still in the throws. 

I can empathize with what you are going through
