I feel my primary responsibility as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is to foster a calm, safe and trusting environment with all clients through a warm and non-judgmental relationship. Therapy is a “we” program. My former career tracks in communication and education gives me the ability to connect with clients from various backgrounds and cultures with empathy and support to help you meet your goals. As a private practice and community mental health therapist, I was able to experience working clinically with children, youth, adults and couples. I use an individually tailored approach to therapy matching the needs of each client in the present moment.

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

Clients I work with often struggle with anxiety, general sadness, depression, life trauma, grief, substance use/recovery and couple’s relationship or communication issues. Working together we can achieve successful outcomes.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), psychodynamic, internal family systems, mindfulness, attachment and cognitive therapy. I am excited to be offering EMDR therapy.

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

I have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) which I practice with couples and individuals. and remain active in that local community as a board of directors member.
