I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 12 years of experience providing psychotherapy to children and their families at a community mental health agency, and psychotherapy in private practice to adults and adolescents. As a humanistic therapist, I maintain a positive approach to psychotherapy by focusing on strengths and positive attributes. I assist my clients with developing a stronger, healthier sense of self, and with making rational choices towards achieving their maximum potential.

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

During our first session I will gather relevant information and begin setting goals for therapy. Since it is vital to have a good therapist-client relationship, we can both determine if moving forward with therapy is appropriate.

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

Anxiety - I help clients to identify and address what is causing their anxiety. I work with clients to develop better coping and problem-solving skills. Use various strategies, including relaxation and mindfulness, which are helpful for many clients. Relationship / Marriage Issues - I assist clients with recognizing and improving difficulties in their relationships (e.g., communication, intimacy, parenting, boundaries, value differences, jealousy). Adolescent/young adult Issues - I worked with adolescents for 7 years at a community health agency. I was based at a high school and met with students throughout the school day. Worked on various issues, including depression, anxiety, anger, and daily life challenges. Met with parents and also held family sessions.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Young adults and college students who are struggling with mental health issues (e.g., anxiety, depression) due to their transition into adulthood and independent living. Adults who are having difficulties managing relationships due to their mental health issues.
