Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

Last Updated 30+ days ago

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and an Art Therapist. I help clients create healthier patterns in life and improve relationships.

My areas of emphasis include abuse, trauma, anxiety, academic stress, depression, divorce, grief, self-esteem, and personal growth. I am also trained in EMDR.

My approach is warm, respectful and caring. I work collaboratively to create a safe, accepting environment for expression to help empower clients to create more balance, meaning and joy in their lives.
