Maya Angelou

Hi, I’m Edith (she/her), an AMFT and APCC. I work with individuals, couples, and families to navigate stress, relationships, and life transitions. When I’m not in session, you can usually find me spending time with family and my dogs, at the gym, or enjoying stand-up comedy. I feel very fortunate to do this work and walk alongside people as they grow.

I love working with...

My focus is on supporting people through different stages of life and challenges. I work with individuals facing addiction, adolescents who need a safe space to be heard, couples wanting to reconnect, and families learning how to navigate tough moments together. I aim to create a space that feels supportive, compassionate, and centered on your unique needs.

Some of my favorite approaches include...

My clinical work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Therapy. I value CBT for its structured and practical tools, DBT for its emphasis on emotion regulation and mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy for the way it empowers clients to re-author their stories and separate themselves from problems.

Cultural Aspects & Intersectionality
I approach therapy with cultural humility and an awareness of intersectionality. I recognize that every client’s identity is shaped by multiple cultural, social, and personal factors, and I make space to honor those experiences in the room. I see culture not as a barrier, but as a resource for resilience and meaning.

View of the Client / Therapist Relationship
I believe the client-therapist relationship is a partnership. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment where clients feel both supported and empowered. Trust and authenticity are at the core of this relationship, and I work to meet clients where they are rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all approach.

Goals for Clients
"My ultimate goal is to help clients build insight, strengthen coping strategies, and experience growth in ways that feel authentic to them. Whether someone is navigating addiction, relationships, adolescence, or family dynamics, I want them to leave therapy with tools, self-awareness, and a sense of agency in their lives.

How I help...

I’d like clients to know that I’m collaborative, non-judgmental, and flexible in my style. I use approaches like CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy to provide practical skills for daily life while also giving room to explore identity, culture, and personal values. My goal is to support you in developing insight, resilience, and confidence in your ability to create meaningful change.

I believe...

...therapy is not about fixing people, but about helping them reconnect with their inner strengths and potential.

What it's like in session with me...

My sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. You can expect a safe space where you feel heard and supported, with the balance of lightness and honesty. It may feel like a natural chat at times, but I’ll also guide us toward identifying patterns, practicing new skills, and working through the things that matter most to you.
