Hi! I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist, practicing since 2003. I have spent my career helping people find success and feel better about themselves. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and families, as well as individuals with dual diagnosis (mental health issues with substance disorder). The brain is my favorite organ in the human body and I love using education and skills to help people find mastery over their emotions.

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

In our first session we will complete a thorough history and talk about the presenting issues that have brought you to me. We will set up goals to work on and build rapport so that we can establish trust.

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

Having worked as a therapist for over 20 years, I feel my extensive knowledge and experience sets me apart. I have worked in treatment facilities in the past and have been trained in many different modalities including DBT and trauma therapy. I believe in the power of psychoeducation and finding the "why" for doing the things we do.

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

I love working with all age groups! While I have a lot of experience with adolescents, I also truly enjoy helping transitional aged youth, as well as young and well established adults. I enjoy working with client's who are ready to make changes and the clients that are almost there. I work with clients who struggle managing their emotions around depression and anxiety and the client's who are struggling with their own sobriety.
