As a licensed therapist, I am dedicated to providing a secure, nonjudgmental environment where clients can address and process underlying emotions such as disappointment, shame, and fear. My goal is to support individuals, couples, and families in achieving personal growth, emotional regulation, and systemic change, regardless of the duration of the therapeutic journey.

I work collaboratively with clients, tailoring interventions to meet their unique needs and fostering meaningful, individualized change.

My therapeutic approach is informed by an integrative, strengths-based framework that prioritizes self-compassion, resilience, and empowerment. I am skilled in the application of evidence-based modalities, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which focuses on emotion regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach is particularly effective for individuals navigating complex emotional and relational dynamics.

I hold dual graduate certifications in Trauma Therapy and Sex Therapy from Richmont Graduate University, and I am licensed as an Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). My clinical training also includes specialized expertise in DBT, enabling me to work effectively with clients managing mood disorders, emotional dysregulation, and relationship difficulties.

I offer therapy to individuals and couples with availability Monday through Friday. Additionally, I provide a sliding scale fee structure to ensure access to quality mental health services. Whether you’re seeking individual therapy, couples therapy, or family support, I am here to help you make meaningful, lasting change.

Truth desires to be lived outwardly.

Thank you for considering me as a part of your journey toward self-discovery, emotional growth, relationship harmony, and systemic transformation.
