Feeling stressed out, anxious, or worried? Let me help navigate through this.
About Me
As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly a decade of experience, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the complexities of life’s challenges. With a background in Counseling Psychology and years of experience supporting clients through personal and relationship struggles, my approach is rooted in collaboration and understanding. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you feel heard, validated, and empowered.
Therapeutic Approach
My approach to therapy is collaborative, solution-focused, and tailored to your specific needs. I believe that therapy is most effective when it's a partnership. We work together to identify patterns, explore emotions, and develop new ways of addressing problems. I integrate techniques from systems-based therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to help you build resilience and move toward your goals.
In my sessions, you’ll find an environment that is supportive yet goal-oriented. I aim to empower you with tools and strategies that can help you make meaningful progress between sessions. Whether it’s improving communication in a relationship, managing anxiety, or working through grief, my approach is focused on helping you develop practical solutions that create long-term emotional health. And while the process can be serious, I always bring a sense of warmth and humor, making the therapeutic space both comforting and productive.
Specialties
I work with clients facing a variety of issues, including:
- Grief and loss: Whether you are mourning the death of a loved one, a major life change like divorce or job loss, or experiencing non-traditional grief, I provide a space where you can process these emotions and begin to heal.
- Anxiety and depression: I help clients manage anxiety and depression through strategies that foster emotional regulation, healthier thought patterns, and self-compassion. Together, we work to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve your ability to cope.
- Relationship challenges: Whether you're facing conflict in your marriage, dealing with infidelity, or struggling with family dynamics, I specialize in helping couples and families improve communication, rebuild trust, and find common ground.
- Life transitions: If you're going through a major life transition—such as moving, a career change, or a shift in family roles—I help you navigate the emotional complexities of these changes and discover new paths forward.
- Conflict Resolution: As a systems-based therapist, I’m skilled in helping clients see the larger patterns in their interactions and teaching strategies to de-escalate tension, improve communication, and build healthier relationships.
Whether you are dealing with the loss of a loved one, struggling with anxiety, or experiencing conflict in your relationships, I’m here to support you as we work toward clarity and healing.
Mental Health Check-Up: The "Mental Physical"
In addition to traditional therapy, I offer a unique service called the "Mental Physical." This is a preventive mental health check-up designed to assess your overall well-being. Just like an annual physical with your doctor, the Mental Physical allows us to evaluate where you are emotionally, set future goals, and strengthen areas of growth. It’s a great way to check in with yourself and prioritize your mental wellness.
Session Rates and Availability
I am currently offering virtual therapy sessions exclusively, providing flexibility and accessibility to clients from the comfort of their own space. My standard rate is $150 for a 50-minute session. This allows you to receive personalized care without the constraints of in-person meetings.
Next Steps
Whether you are looking to improve your relationships, manage stress, or simply take stock of your mental health, I am here to help. Therapy is a journey, and I invite you to take that first step with me. Together, we can work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
