As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I specialize in helping people heal those deeper relational wounds. I know how to guide you through the work it takes to reconnect with yourself and start building relationships that actually feel fulfilling, safe, and real.

With over 20 years as a psychotherapist, I've addressed a wide array of client struggles. I start by assessing presenting problems and discussing a healthy path forward.
