High satisfaction rate with clients

Nice to meet you

As an LMFT with 20+ years of experience devoted to working with folks throughout their lifespan, I help clients find the preferred stories of their lives. I provide an open, all-inclusive spirit where change can be realized, strengths are celebrated and a warm and welcoming space awaits. I lean on a solution-focused lens to guide our dialogues and am informed by my mindfulness training to support you in leading a more balanced and healthy life. I bring a non-pathologizing, non-hierarchical perspective, where individual differences, diversity, and alternative ways of being are honored.
