I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, Texas and Washington. My work is direct, collaborative, and focused on helping people understand themselves more clearly so they can make changes that actually improve their day-to-day lives.
Many people come to therapy feeling exhausted, resentful, disconnected from themselves, or overly impacted by the needs, expectations, or reactions of others. These patterns often develop in response to early family dynamics, trauma, chronic stress, or long-standing habits like people-pleasing and over-functioning. Therapy can be a space to slow down, examine these patterns honestly, and build more sustainable ways of relating to yourself and others.
If you are feeling drained, stuck, or unsure how to honor your own needs and boundaries, and you are looking for a therapist who is warm but straightforward, thoughtful but practical, we may be a good fit!
