As a licensed MFT, I am passionate about seeing individuals, couples, and families restore a fundamental sense of identity and safety, cultivate healthy relationships, and gain tools for lasting change and influence. I desire to come alongside each client in their journey with a posture of attunement, acceptance, pragmatism, partnership, and sensitivity to context.
My areas of interest include working with clients who are experiencing identity issues, cultural issues, life transitions, relational struggles, spiritual issues, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. My education is based in family systems dynamics and I bring experience supporting couples in crisis as well as parent-adolescent relationships.
With a focus on attachment, mindfulness, and emotional regulation, my therapeutic approach is anchored in Restoration Therapy, in which I am a Level 2 trained Consultant. My work with clients is also collaborative, dynamic, and depth-focused, incorporating both Internal Family Systems & Psychodynamic frameworks.
I value the intersection of mental health, faith, and social justice. In my past vocational work, I have empowered young adults of diverse ethnic, cultural, spiritual, and regional backgrounds. My own upbringing and experience has also shaped a heart for pastors/ministry staff, families in ministry, and pastor’s kids.
