My passion is helping people build and live the lives they've always wanted. Lack of satisfaction in our daily lives and relationships can leave us feeling down, worried, or alone. That's not how life should be! As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a systemic, relational approach to both problems and solutions. I work collaboratively with my clients and believe my clients are the experts of their lives and circumstances. Sometimes people get caught in unhealthy cycles and patterns of behavior and just need a different perspective to help them break these cycles.
