Intro
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nine years of experience supporting individuals, couples, parents, and families. I'm licensed in Texas, New York, and New Jersey, and I've had the privilege of working with adults at every stage of life. My work focuses on helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief, chronic health challenges, life transitions, relationship concerns, and parenting. I take a compassionate, collaborative approach, blending insight with practical tools to help people feel more grounded, connected, and empowered in their daily lives.
How would you describe your approach to care?
I'm a therapist who believes healing starts with feeling genuinely seen, heard, and supported. I bring a warm, grounded presence to my work, creating a space where clients can slow down, breathe, and explore their experiences without judgment. My approach blends compassion with insight-driven guidance, helping people understand their patterns, reconnect with themselves, and build practical skills that support real, lasting change. I meet clients exactly where they are while helping them move toward a life that feels more aligned, steady, and fulfilling.
What should be expected in the first session?
In our first session, you can expect a relaxed, supportive space where we get to know each other and talk about what's bringing you to therapy. I'll ask questions about your goals, your history, and what you're hoping to change, and you're welcome to share at your own pace. We'll explore what feels most helpful for you right now and start shaping a plan that feels comfortable, clear, and doable.
