ABOUT
WIFE, TEACHER, AND THERAPIST
From one human to another, I know life isn’t always easy.
I get it, I’ve been there too. And it sucks. Pain sucks.
So often we see ourselves from a negative lens.
Shame, self-doubt, rejection, and loneliness can often discolor our authentic self.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my priority is to foster a space where you can gain a stronger sense of self and gain a better understanding of your self worth. My desire for you is to establish thriving relationships, emotional regulation, a stronger voice, and HOPE. I want you to maximize your strengths so you can live your best life.
I love supporting individuals, couples, adolescents, and families struggling with anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, stress, identity formation, low self-worth, bicultural identity struggles, and life transitions.
I truly believe that every person has the strength and capacity for change. I hope to walk with you as you re-author your narrative to one of living loved and feeling known.
One of the most difficult parts of finding a therapist is finding someone you can connect with. Not everyone is going to be the right fit. I would be honored to share this therapy space with you. If you feel comfortable creating a connection, don’t hesitate to reach out.

SERVICES
Becoming the Best You
“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” ― Brene Brown
