about me
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) License #134798
Helping you is my passion. After years of working in a demanding business career and then dedicating my time as a stay-at-home mother, I realized my true calling was in helping others. I uprooted my life to become a therapist, bringing my diverse life experiences and deep empathy to my practice. Now, I am committed to guiding you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. Together, we can work towards the transformative change you seek.
