The Therapist
My Approach
I'm privileged to create a nurturing environment for individuals navigating diverse challenges. My experience spans outpatient treatment, residential substance treatment, and currently private practice.
As a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, I see my role as a guide in your therapeutic journey. My utmost priority is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and client-centered space. My aim is to leverage my expertise and training to facilitate your healing and personal growth. I deeply respect people's narratives and acknowledge the therapeutic process can feel overwhelming yet incredibly fulfilling. Throughout this journey, I strive for openness, genuineness, and empathy while guiding you towards healing. I embrace my true self without apologies and find great value in integrating my authentic identity into my profession.
