Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Supervised by Christopher Kelm, LMFT – Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #110568
Life can present us with significant obstacles, whether they stem from relationship difficulties, the persistent weight of anxiety or depression, the impact of past traumas, or simply a feeling of being stuck and not sure where to go. Reaching out for support is a courageous first step, and I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where your unique experiences will be truly heard and validated.
As a therapist, I believe each individual has the inner strength to heal and grow stronger. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from evidence-based modalities to create a personalized path toward your well-being. This includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and Person-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, genuineness, and your innate capacity for self-discovery. These approaches help you gain a deeper self-understanding, develop effective coping strategies, and navigate life’s challenges with greater awareness and confidence.
I am committed to offering a culturally sensitive and affirming space for individuals of all backgrounds, including diverse sexual, gender, ethnic, and cultural orientations. Together, we will explore your desired outcomes, identify any barriers hindering your progress, and work collaboratively to foster personal growth and resilience. I aim to empower you to connect with your inner strengths, cultivate meaningful change, and ultimately create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey towards greater peace and well-being.
