I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) passionate about helping individuals find hope and healing during the most difficult times of their lives.  These difficult experiences can leave one feeling lost, depressed, anxious, fearful, and emotionally wounded. Feeling "stuck" with any of these emotions can be very overwhelming and life-altering.  However, I believe that no matter the circumstances there is always hope and the possibility of Moving Forward! I have been a therapist for 10+ years specializing in the field of trauma, specifically Sexual Abuse trauma. My specialties include the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Additionally, I have experience in providing counseling services to individuals, couples, and families with a range of emotional and behavioral issues such as Adoption Related Issues, Attachment Disorders, Crisis Intervention, Conflict Resolution, Depression, Grief & Loss, and Parenting.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, discuss risks and benefits of therapy, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

Along my professional journey, I have had the honor of managing wonderful community-based programs and supervising therapists dedicated in providing a variety of Trauma-Informed Services such as post-adoption counseling and case management, behavioral case management for individuals with Severe Mental Illnesses (SMI), counseling and case management for military families victims of domestic violence, and most recently, Crisis Intervention for victims of sexual assault.  It is this last one that inspired me to continue my work with victims of sexual abuse in private practice.

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

I love working with individuals who have experienced trauma in their lives. My clients are eager to move forward, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, depressed and/or anxious about their future.
