Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 10 years working in the field of Dual Diagnosis, 6 of those in a therapeutic capacity. I like working with adult individuals who are struggling with their mental health and have used self destructive behaviors to cope in the past. I truly believe that who you are as a person is seperate from your behavior and that we are all just trying to survive out here! I use a variety of different therapeutic approaches that are evidenced based to help you feel better and reach your goals. I am also certified in Brainspotting and have been using this as a modality for about 4 years now.

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

In our first session, we have some introductions and some background information. Then we look at what the goal of therapy would be and discuss some options as to how we will get there. We will work on tailoring therapy towards what you would like. We can also discuss what you would like as "homework" - it doesn't mean a written assignment necessarily, but basically what will you be willing or able to try between sessions.

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

I think that my greatest strengths as a therapist is truly being with you in this journey. I listen, I remember what you told me, and I really try to collaborate with you on what you want to see as a result. I don't have a cookie-cutter approach to therapy and really lean into trying different interventions versus focusing in on just a CBT or DBT approach. Blending different coping skills together and seeing what is most effective for you is what I like most about the therapeutic process.
