I am a Marriage and Family Therapy intern who works virtually with children and families.  I enjoy seeing how kids open up and process thier world once they feel they have a safe space. Together we talk, play, and work through worry, big feelings, school stress, friendship challenges, or difficult experiences at home in a way that matches how children naturally communicate.

Because my child sessions are virtual, we meet on Kismet Health, a platform developed for therapy with children rather than a standard video call. Families find tools that mirror an in-person play space — including a dollhouse, games, a drawing canvas, a diary, and skills sheets. Kismet was created to bring therapy to children in rural Alaska and is now used by families nationwide. For many parents who are unsure about virtual therapy, knowing the session happens in a child-centered space makes it easier to take that first step.

As an MFT intern, I also work with couples and families as a whole. My focus is relational: helping people communicate more clearly, shift patterns that keep them stuck, and build more intimate, healthier ways of relating. That may include parents and children navigating daily conflict, partners who feel distant or caught in the same arguments, or families who want home life to feel more connected and steady.

I also have experience supporting individuals who have lived through complex trauma and need a careful, trauma-informed space for that work.

I am currently completing my clinical training in the COAMFTE-accredited Marriage and Family Therapy program at National University. My approach is collaborative and compassionate. I draw from narrative, strengths-based, and relational frameworks, and I tailor the work to what you or your child need. My hope is to offer a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as learn differnt ways of seeing the world and interacting with it.

If you are looking for a therapist who enjoys working with children, support for your couple or family relationships, or a steady place to address a difficult past, I would welcome the chance to work with you.
