I am a highly accomplished Licensed, Marriage, and Family Therapist with over 28 years of experience in managing challenging behaviors and helping individuals with ongoing significant social/emotional skill deficits, and/or mental health needs. Along with working with youth from many cultures and economic backgrounds, I also have over 20 years’ experience supervising and managing adults in the education field. My years of experience working for school districts, private practice settings, group homes and currently as a mental health administrator provide clients with a clinician who has a broad range of experience.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My intake sessions are all about me getting to know the client and the client getting to know me. The first session works as a way of building a foundation, however, the first session is just the beginning. I also view the first session as a way of me seeing the future with the client and I immediately begin seeing how I will work with the client into a place of being self-sufficient.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greats strength is my ability to go wherever the client is, in other words I do not try and move the client, I attempt motivate the client to move themselves. Treatment is all about the client so I attempt to be as balanced as I can to provide the client with the best possible journey.
