Cleo is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over ten years of experience providing individual, couple, and family therapy. She approaches her work through a systemic lens, thoughtfully considering the interconnected relationships and dynamics that shape each person’s life. Cleo fosters a collaborative therapeutic process, helping clients define goals that feel both meaningful and actionable.

She is skilled in assessing and treating a wide range of clinical concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, self-worth challenges, life transitions, family conflict, trauma, LGBTQ+ identity and sexuality exploration, suicidality, and self-harming behaviors. Her treatment plans are comprehensive, adaptive, and grounded in evidence based practices.

Cleo believes the therapeutic relationship is a powerful catalyst for change. She meets clients with compassion and candor, creating space for reflection, growth, and clarity. Her style is warm, direct, and supportive by inviting clients to explore the barriers that may be keeping them from living as their most authentic selves.

Rooted in her own values of optimism, connection and care, Cleo is deeply family and relationship oriented. She draws from a wide range of personal and professional experiences to foster empathy and understanding in her work. This blend of lived insight and clinical expertise allows her to meet clients with genuine presence and attunement, helping them feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Above all, Cleo is committed to cultivating a safe and affirming environment where clients can reconnect with the parts of themselves that have always held strength, wisdom, and resilience.

“Therapy isn’t just about navigating the hard things, it’s also about deepening your understanding of yourself so you can live in a way that feels more connected and fulfilling. I believe that together, we can process and learn meaningful insights and create solutions that support the path that feels most authentic to you”
