“The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.”

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist,  I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and young adults build healthier, more meaningful relationships. Relationships have always been central to my life and my work, and I believe strong relational connections are essential to emotional well-being, resilience, and personal growth.

Research consistently shows that healthy relationships improve mental health, physical health, self-esteem, and overall life satisfaction. In my therapy practice, I support clients navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, trauma, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck or disconnected. My work focuses on strengthening the relationship you have with yourself while improving communication, emotional safety, and connection with others.

With over three decades of marriage and the experience of raising three young adult children, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to therapy. I understand the complexities of long-term relationships, family dynamics, and personal growth across life stages. These experiences inform my compassionate, grounded approach and deepen my appreciation for resilience, perseverance, empathy, and grace.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Guided by values of faith, self-awareness, respect, and ongoing professional growth, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. Together, we work to identify and shift limiting patterns, heal emotional wounds, and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Outside of my therapy practice, I enjoy hiking, traveling, cooking, and hosting gatherings with family and friends. I value meaningful connection in my personal life just as deeply as I do in my professional work, and I believe these relationships enrich the care I provide to my clients.
