Background
With a strong foundation in both clinical practice and real-world experience, this Marriage and Family Therapist brings a thoughtful and well-rounded perspective to her work. She earned a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University, building on an earlier Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. Her experience in general and special education allowed her to work closely with children, families, and adults from diverse backgrounds—insight that now shapes her compassionate and inclusive therapeutic style.
Therapeutic Approach
Grounded in the belief that every person has the ability to create meaningful change, she partners
with clients to move toward the life they envision. Her style is strength-based, collaborative, and
focused on what is already working well. Clients often describe her approach as warm,
encouraging, and deeply supportive. She prioritizes creating a comfortable, judgment-free
environment where individuals and families can safely explore challenges, build new skills, and
experience genuine growth. The goal is not only to help clients cope, but to help them truly
thrive.
Providing care to individuals and couples navigating ADHD, anxiety, stress, and major life
transitions, she tailors her guidance to each person’s unique needs. Her work spans children,
adolescents, and adults, all welcomed into a space designed to feel respectful and inclusive. She
is especially committed to offering affirming, culturally sensitive support for members of the
LGBTQIA+ community.
Using an integrative and personalized approach, she draws from a range of evidence-based
practices to ensure each client receives care aligned with their values, goals, and lived
experiences. The result is a therapeutic experience that feels supportive, effective, and
authentically centered on who they are and what they hope to achieve.
