    Clinician and Owner

    I provide compassionate, evidence-based counseling focused on couples and young adults. I also design and lead workshops for couples and new parents, and offer on-set support for people working in the film and TV industry.

    Services offered:

    • Couples counseling: communication skills, conflict resolution, rebuilding trust, pre-marital and relationship enhancement.

    • Workshops for couples: interactive sessions on communication, managing finances together, co-parenting strategies, intimacy and connection, preparing for major life changes.

    • Workshops for new parents: managing sleep and exhaustion, co-parenting and role negotiation, balancing work and family, bonding with baby, mental health after birth.

    • On-set mental health support: short-term counseling, crisis response, stress and performance coaching, guidance for productions to support cast and crew mental wellness.

    My background includes several years as a high school counselor, where I supported teens through academic stress, identity development, and relationship challenges. That experience helps me understand the transition from adolescence to adulthood and the unique pressures young adults face—college, career decisions, social and romantic relationships, and emerging independence.

    In couples work I use the Gottman Method to strengthen communication, repair conflict, and rebuild connection. Sessions are collaborative and skills-based: we’ll practice how to express needs without blame, listen with empathy, manage conflict more effectively, and nurture friendship and intimacy within the relationship.

    My approach is warm, practical, and strengths-focused. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore concerns, learn new skills, and make meaningful changes. I’m looking forward to meeting you and supporting your journey toward greater calm, connection, and well-being.Description text goes here

    Workshop Educator

    I lead workshops for couples who want to work on their communication in their relationship.

    My formal journey in education led me to pursue a master's degree in Adult Education. Graduate school deepened my understanding of how adults learn differently than children — bringing prior experience, motivation, and practical goals into the classroom. My graduate studies emphasized learner-centered instruction, curriculum design for adults, assessment that supports growth, and strategies for fostering engagement among diverse learners. Those years refined my ability to design learning experiences that are respectful, relevant, and applicable to adult learners balancing work, family, and life responsibilities.

    My classroom practice blends clear structure with flexibility. I aim to create an environment where learners feel comfortable to ask questions. I currently work as a fifth grade teacher in addition to leading workshops at Healing Waves.
