I am a Masters Level Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have twenty years of experience working with a wide diversity of clients and issues. I’ve worked at clinics, ran my own private practice and worked as a therapist for enlisted NAVY and their spouses. I have been doing teletherapy for the last three years. Therapy can seem different or intimidating at times, but it doesn’t have to be. I aim to create a thoughtful connection and help reduce any apprehensions by maintaining a relaxed demeanor, displaying genuine interest, and continually striving for authenticity.

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

The process of therapy can help individuals or couples become unstuck. We all experience patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Gaining insight into these patterns helps us discover where change is necessary. Enacting change is always up to the individual or couple, but my goal is to help you get there to take charge. My therapy style is client-centered, which means I practice acceptance, genuineness, and empathic understanding. Utilizing this approach also means that each client is the expert on their experience.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I utilize various theoretical backgrounds and techniques. Keep in mind, however, that the most important part of therapy is the relationship between the client and therapist. I do my best to connect with each client where they are emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. With that being said I do use a variety of therapy approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Eye Movement Desensitization, aka, EMDR.

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

One of my specialties includes helping people overcome trauma-related issues. Trauma can come in many forms, but is often one of the reasons we get stuck. I have extensive knowledge and experience helping clients reduce symptoms related to Depression and Anxiety. All studies are pointing to higher rates of both of these during these trying times. Another specialty of mine is working with men and men’s related issues, especially surrounding relationships. I also have experience with addiction-related issues, domestic violence, parenting, and more. Although these are some of my specialties, my experience has been extremely wide-ranging, so please consider me for a consultation.
