About My Clients

I love working with people that are ready to take a look at themselves and explore their relationships. Relationships take work and some times just need a little guidance. I work with a variety of populations from new parents to couples and life transitions like divorce and adolescents preparing for college. If you are ready to examine how you fit in the context of your friendships or relationships therapy could be a good place to start.

My Background and Approach

Therapy serves as a valuable resource for uncovering your strengths and gaining fresh perspectives. It's an ideal space for identifying areas where you may be feeling stuck and for discovering innovative strategies to enrich your life. With over two decades of experience working with clients, I specialize in assisting individuals and couples. My expertise lies in helping them navigate their communication patterns and interpersonal dynamics, all the while acknowledging the crucial role of mental health in their overall well-being. Together, we create a tailored plan to pursue personal and professional goals. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I have honed my skills in assessing and diagnosing mental and emotional issues within the context of relationships and family systems, always with a keen understanding of how family dynamics impact emotional connections.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe as a marriage and family therapist that inclusivity and respect for all clients, regardless of their race and gender identities, are fundamental to the therapeutic process. In my practice, I am committed to creating an environment where clients from diverse backgrounds feel safe, valued, and heard. Empowering my clients is a key goal. I encourage them to assert themselves, advocate for their rights, and challenge societal norms and structures that perpetuate inequality. In my practice, I treat all clients with respect, free from any form of discrimination or bias. I believe in open dialogue and a client-centered approach that respects clients' perspectives and experiences.
