Hi - Therapy is about empowering you to make decisions that make you feel good. It's also about understanding that, even when the 'perfect' decision isn't available, that you have the strength to manage any outcome. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Doctorate in Marital and Family Therapy. I have over 17 years experience in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I'm also an expert in compassion fatigue and burnout and dealing with career stress and boundaries. I help people struggling in areas of work and other relationships find ways to better connect and to feel like themselves once again by challenging what contributed to negative feelings in the first place. I have worked with adults my entire career, as well as youth and adolescents. My outcomes are positive because I focus on building relationships through genuineness and humor.

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

The initial session is meant for me to understand what brought you to therapy, to discuss goals and expectations, and to see how recent challenges have impacted you. My goal is to see how I can help you and to generate conversation about what we might expect throughout the relationship. From there, we will formulate and talk about the plan and how we can maintain accountability to create the change you're looking to make. From there, it's simply about maintaining consistency, which is the hallmark of any good therapy.

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

Over the last decade, my approach has been about being genuine, being real. I have extensive education and training in getting to know people, to understand their needs from their perspective that based on their values. My greatest strength is allowing people to feel seen and heard. I am approachable and make myself available to my clients. I am a professor at the university level and this furthers my ongoing desire to stay current in trends and ways to help with anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship issues.
