Hi, I am a Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been working as a therapist for 10 years. My goal is to provide guidance, support, and feedback in a safe therapeutic space to ultimately help you heal and strengthen your resilience. I help my clients identify areas they would like to develop and learn new coping skills in order to enhance strengths and abilities which can help them achieve a greater degree of happiness and contentment in their lives.
In our first session we'll start with brief introductions, gather a brief history, and develop goals of treatment.
I work with a variety of issues including struggling with life stresses, anxiety, depression, family issues, divorce, trauma, victims of abuse, grief and eating disorders.
I believe it takes courage to seek help and personal growth, which is why I meet you where you are, emotionally, to work collaboratively with you. If you would like a supportive therapist who cares about helping you achieve your goals and find the quality of life you seek, I encourage you to contact me to discuss your situation and what therapy might do for you.
