Therapist

Life is a journey filled with twists, turns, and unexpected challenges—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a Marriage and Family Therapist with six years of clinical experience, I bring a warm, client-centered approach to help you find clarity, healing, and growth.


I have had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan, supporting clients through life transitions, relationship challenges, parenting, and school/work accommodations (just to name a few). I believe therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience; rather, it should be as unique as you are. That’s why I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs, honoring your cultural background, gender identity, and personal intersectionalities that shape your world and community.


Together, we’ll create a space that feels safe, collaborative, and empowering—a space where you can process life’s challenges and build the tools to move forward with confidence. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific concern or looking to deepen your self-understanding, I’m here to walk alongside you.
