Healthy relationships don't happen by accident—they're built through understanding, communication, and the willingness to grow. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling disconnected from your partner, navigating relationship conflict, or facing intimacy concerns, you don't have to work through it alone.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree from Pepperdine University, and I specialize in helping adults and couples create healthier relationships with themselves and the people they love. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental while also being practical and goal-oriented. I believe lasting change happens when clients feel genuinely understood while also being challenged to grow.

Together we'll identify the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, strengthen communication, develop practical coping skills, and build deeper emotional and relational connection. Whether you're working through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or questions surrounding intimacy, my goal is to help you leave therapy feeling more confident, connected, and equipped to create meaningful change.

I brings humor, compassion, clarity and understanding to my work. I try to maintain a stance of curiosity about my clients and their ways of thinking and feeling. I supports couples and families in improving communication, expressing feelings, resolving conflict, and establishing clearer roles. I encourage parents to set limits and establish healthy boundaries. He assists individuals and families in becoming more confident, hopeful, and relaxed. I support relating with clarity, serenity, and loving kindness.

My primary clinical approaches include attachment, mentalization based treatment and family systems.
