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.
Client will be welcomed into a safe, warming, non judgmental relationship building environment where they are free to ask questions and explore their inner 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.

It's helping me understand what boundaries mean for me and my love one to respect each other's decision and not feel controlled from each other

I am new to therapy of any kind. It's always challenging opening up to a stranger. Dean made it easy & asked good questions of me to get me to open up. Thank you.
