I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with experience in assisting teens and young adults overcome their eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. I look at the symptoms as an opportunity to identify areas that ned adjustment from a systems lens. In addition to formal MFT experiences, I am a retired school principal/superintendent that served staff, kids, and communities around all kinds of mental health emergencies. I also provided grief counseling to first responders when I was a volunteer fire chief.
First sessions are designed to build rapport between therapist and client. During this time the therapist will listen to the client share who they are, areas they are struggling with and together they will form a bond and set some goals to work on during therapy.
I provide incredible empathy and ability to hold the space for clients to feel safe and open up sharing some of their deepest fears and dreams. I also bring a wealth of lived experiences that assist me in having incredible empathy for the struggles others are going through.

I have developed incredible empathy to be able to hold the space for others to feel safe and share their deepest thoughts.
I believe our thoughts, beliefs, and actions are a series of patterns that we develop early in life. With awareness I help clients identify patterns in their lives that they might like to change.
