I am a licensed couple and family therapist and relationship scientist with a passion for understanding the innerworkings of the mind at the individual, dyadic, and familial levels. In my years of clinical practice, I have had the pleasure and the privilege to sit down with countless couples, individuals, and families to help them navigate their inter- and intrapersonal difficulties on a journey toward growth and resolution. I strongly believe that no matter what the motivation for coming to therapy may be, clients should emerge from the process with a greater understanding of themselves that ultimately translates into a deeply enriched and fulfilled life.
I have extensive experience working with high school and college-aged individuals; women (alone or with their partners) in the preconception and/or perinatal period; couples in any phase of their relationship; adult individuals struggling to cope with the challenges of everyday life; and families comprised of adolescent or adult children and their caregiver(s) or other significant family members. In my work with clients, we address anxiety, depression, self-image, emotional dysregulation, romantic relationship challenges, issues related to life transitions, interpersonal dynamics, and whatever else may arise along the way. I have worked with clients who represent diverse backgrounds and experiences on a wide array of issues and celebrate the intersectionality that makes each of us beautifully unique.
