Professional statement

Hi! Welcome!
I’m a licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Ph.D. in Marriage & Family Therapy, and I specialize in working with Internal Family Systems (IFS). I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and family-related concerns, and I’m passionate about helping clients feel more connected to themselves and their lives.
My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in respect for your autonomy. I believe that you are the expert on your own experience, and therapy is a space where we can slow down, listen more closely, and better understand the different parts of you that may be trying to help in their own ways. Together, we’ll build insight, develop new ways of responding, and move toward greater clarity and balance.


Message to clients

Starting therapy is a meaningful step, and it’s completely normal to feel a mix of emotions as you begin. You don’t have to have everything figured out before showing up.
In our work together, we’ll take things one step at a time, focusing on helping you better understand what you’re experiencing and how to move forward in a way that feels aligned with who you are. I aim to create a space that feels steady, supportive, and empowering, where you can explore at your own pace and feel more at ease with yourself over time.
If you’re looking for a therapist who will walk alongside you, respect your choices, and support your growth with care and intention, I’d be glad to connect.
