I am a marriage and family therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples heal from relational trauma, betrayal trauma, compulsive sexual behavior, and relationship distress.

I have completed specialized training through APSATS and am currently pursuing completion of CSAT training, with plans to pursue full certification in both APSATS and CSAT. I am committed to ongoing professional development to provide ethical, effective, and trauma-informed care that supports lasting healing and healthier relationships.
