Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

Supervisor: Tony Lai, LPC (License #C1718)

Currently accepting new clients. I work with children, teens, adults, couples and families.

If you’re looking for an empathetic and accepting space to work from the pain and challenges you’re currently experiencing towards the health and wholeness that you’re seeking, I would be honored to help.  In our sessions, you can expect a safe, open, and non-judgmental environment where we will collaboratively address your mental health concerns and work towards your mental health goals. 

I support children, teens, families, couples, and adults.  When I work with kids, I utilize play therapy to create space for them to work through the issues that may be causing challenges at home or at school. I also pair my play therapy work with sessions for you, their caregiver, to equip and empower you to best support your child. I also am trained in experiential therapy models for all ages, including sandtray.

My therapeutic approach is primarily relational, compassion-driven, and person-centered. I ground my work in attachment theory, hold a systemic orientation, and draw from Satir’s Model of Therapy. Whatever is going on in your life, your child’s life, your family, or your marriage, I know that there is hope for health and growth. It would be a privilege to walk with you on the journey to find the wholeness that you’re looking for. Contact me today to schedule a consultation to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit.

In my free time, I like to spend time with my husband and kids – particularly outside, playing a board game, or over a good meal. I enjoy reading, watercolor painting, and making or listening to music.
