I began my LMFT career with completing my master's at University of Phoenix in 2009 and completed my full licensure in 2018. I have 7 years of experience in addiction treatment through methadone care and have been working in the most current 6 years at a VA hospital assisting veterans and their families/couples creating heathier communication and making their lives better.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel that I create space for everyone to be unique and individual along with speaking as you want without judgement or hesitation. I enjoy cussing in session and feel that the eclectic language assists with client's who feel stuck emotionally and need to respond in a guttural therapeutic way with language.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with young individuals who are struggling with communication, finding who they are and ways they fit in their environment and also assisting them with creating opportunities where they feel stuck.

Motivational Interviewing
I seek to understand the client's concerns through inquisitive questions and thoughtful interjections so that the client can better understand why they feel stuck in negative patterns of behavior.
Couples Counseling
I have been conducting couples therapy almost exclusively for the last 6 years while working with veteran populations and their families to improve their communication and increase family happiness.
Eclectic
I love to draw from multiple sources of information to assist with all kinds of different situations, whether it be mindfulness exercises to be more present and reducing anxiety, CBT to understand depression more effectively, DBT techniques to be present and not allow fear of separation to impact the client's life or grief and loss techniques to assist with death and grieving.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Exploring emotions in session is highly effective with learning more about the behaviors that drive outcomes and why those behaviors are in charge in our lives.
