Clients say this provider is
With 15 years of experience as a marriage and family therapist, I specialize in helping create lasting, positive change through integrating Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Solution Focused Brief Treatment (SFBT) to offer a comprehensive, evidence-based approach tailored to each client's unique needs. My work with clients emphasizes building emotional resilience, improving communication, and fostering deep connections. I am passionate about helping clients achieve their goals and develop the tools they need for meaningful, fulfilling lives.
In our first session, we will spend sometime getting to know each other and identify the obstacles that you may be experiencing. This type of assessment helps us collaborate to create our path forward in treatment.
With 15 years of therapy experience and my own life journey, my greatest strength as a provider is my creativity in finding effective solutions to overcome obstacles. I am not accepting couples at this time. If you are interested in couples and want to discuss options for treatment, I'm available to discuss via messaging but will not be able to take on any new couples at this time.
I work well with clients who often feel stuck or overwhelmed by life’s challenges, possesses a curiosity about their feelings and experiences, and is eager to learn and grow through the obstacles they face.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment (SFBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented therapy approach that emphasizes clients’ strengths, resources, and preferred future rather than focusing on problems or past difficulties. In practice, it uses targeted questions — such as the “miracle question” and scaling — to help clients identify clear goals and recognize progress. We would work together in a collaborative stance, highlighting what is already working and building on those successes. This approach is practical, efficient, and empowering, making it especially effective in time-limited or outcome-focused settings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach in individual counseling that helps clients manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness. Originally developed for individuals with borderline personality disorder, it is now widely used to treat a range of emotional and behavioral issues. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral strategies with mindfulness practices to build skills in four key areas: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Clients learn to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, accept difficult emotions without judgment, and develop healthier ways to interact in relationships, ultimately fostering resilience and a greater sense of control over their emotional lives.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in individual counseling is an attachment-based approach aimed at helping clients understand and process their emotions, often rooted in unmet attachment needs. EFT encourages clients to identify, explore, and express their core emotions in a safe, supportive setting. Through this process, clients gain insight into how these emotions influence their thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. By addressing and transforming negative emotional patterns, EFT helps individuals build a stronger sense of self-compassion, improve emotional regulation, and create more fulfilling, authentic connections with themselves and others.

Only had our intake session but she is the first therapist that seems to be solution oriented and even mentioned having a relationship with my psychiatrist to make sure we are all on one accord with my treatment plan. I had to wait like a month and a half to get in to see her but it seems to have been worth the wait. I look forward to our upcoming sessions.
