About My Clients

I work with adults, couples and professionals who want to strengthen their relationships, build leadership skills or reclaim balance in their lives. My clients often seek help with navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting or family conflict. Whether you’re a parent, partner or business owner, we’ll work together to identify what’s holding you back and create a plan for growth and connection.

My Background and Approach

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience, I draw on training in Gottman couples therapy and modalities like CBT, family systems and person‑centered approaches. We'll start by exploring what brings you to therapy and the connection between your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Together we’ll identify patterns that no longer serve you and develop practical tools to improve communication, set boundaries and cultivate resilience. My style is collaborative, compassionate and strength‑based. If at any point I’m not the best fit, I’ll help connect you with another therapist on our team.
