I’m passionate about working with those who grew up in a family where they were given adult responsibilities from an early age. You’re the one who took care of everything and everyone. Today, you’re still doing the same. You’re exhausted, but saying no or asking for help is uncomfortable, so you don’t. Instead, you stuff your feelings down, pretend like everything is good, and act like you have it all together. At times, it becomes too much, and you explode. Shortly after, you feel guilt, and you “help” more to ease it. Then you become angry, feeling disrespected and stuck. Hopeless. You want things to change and don’t know how to make change happen.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I provide skills to help you manage your emotions and advocate for yourself, so you’re not controlled by others or your guilt. I can help you strengthen your boundary-setting skills, so others learn how to respect you in the ways that matter most. Working with me can help you know your value and your worth.

Together, we will move you toward your desired goals and empower you to make the changes you’ve been wanting. Call me, and let’s talk about how we can work together.

I’m an experiential relationship specialist with a trauma informed lens. My therapy style is integrative with a foundation in systems and relationships. What this means is that I am comfortable working with multiple people in the room, as well as considering those who are not. I look at the relationships you are a part of and consider how your experiences influence your emotions, perceptions, actions, and patterns of behavior. This also means that I am not a cookie cutter therapist. I believe my clients are not made from a single mold or a one size fits all. I create therapy to fit the client’s needs and meet them where they are at. You can expect sessions to be relational and collaborative. A human experience. One where I will get to know you as a person while working towards your desired goals.
