-
I was trained from a systemic perspective, which means I view change as fundamentally interpersonal and contextual. We grow, struggle, and heal through relationship—both those we’re born into and those we choose. The therapeutic relationship is no exception: I aim to build a strong connection grounded in authenticity, compassion, and trust.
I take an integrative approach, drawing from a variety of models depending on each client’s needs. These include:
Person-centered and experiential therapy
Attachment-based models
Psychodynamic therapy
Narrative and solution focused models
Mindfulness and somatic practices
Cognitive-behavioral strategies
When working with couples, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Couples Therapy (Levels 1 and 2), and the Developmental Model.
-
I work with:
Adults navigating anxiety, identity, life transitions, or relationship challenges
Teens (14+) exploring self-expression, school and social pressures, or family dynamics
Couples seeking deeper connection, improved communication, or support through change
Families (with teen or adult children) working on boundaries, roles, or better ways to connect
-
Clients often come to therapy without a formal diagnosis—just a sense that something isn’t working. I support people navigating:
Anxiety or emotional overwhelm
Communication difficulties
Grief, loss, or major life transitions
Relationship patterns or attachment struggles
Parenting challenges
Feelings of being “too much” or “not enough”
-
No. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA), I do not prescribe medication. If we determine that medication might support your goals, I can help connect you with a medical provider or psychiatrist.
-
I work with teens ages 14 and up, but not with children under 14. For younger children, I’d be happy to refer you to trusted colleagues who specialize in child therapy.
-
Yes, I am currently accepting new clients for both in-person and telehealth sessions. I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit—schedule yours here.
-
I’m a private-pay provider, which means I don’t currently accept insurance. However, many clients are able to receive partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits.
I can provide a monthly superbill—a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurer. Reimbursement depends on your plan and may be affected by my license type (LMFTA). I recommend checking with your insurance provider in advance.
If your provider requests more than what’s in a superbill, I can offer a summary of treatment—but I don’t provide formal treatment plans or therapy notes.
-
To ensure every client receives appropriate care, I do not treat the following:
Schizophrenia or other conditions involving psychosis
Personality disorders
Substance use disorders
Eating disorders
Recurrent suicidal ideation or self-injury
Court-mandated therapy, legal assessments, or testimony
Case management
If any of these issues arise in our work together, I will refer you to a specialist or explore bringing in additional support.
