I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in working with people struggling from mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, LBGT issues, addiction and recovery, and neurodevelopment disabilities specifically autism spectrum disorder. I have worked in the field of mental health for 15+ years. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, coaching, and providing support to adult individuals in need of change in their lives.

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

In our first meeting, we'll introduce ourselves, then I'll gather information about your present concerns, and create a plan for goals to target.

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

When working with anxiety and depression, I aim to address self-deprecating statements, reframe negative thought patterns, target thoughts of loneliness, fear, rejection, and rumination. We'll look at these barriers and increase emotional regulation, resilience, identify historical patterns, triggers, generate new ideas, solutions, visualization, and develop a new narrative.
