I am flexible in my approach to therapy, recognizing that each client’s needs are unique. My primary focus is on addressing immediate concerns, providing targeted support and strategies to tackle pressing issues. If necessary, we can delve into past experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you, ensuring we do not overwhelm you while still addressing underlying issues that may impact your present situation. I understand that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. Therefore, I do not confine clients to a full hour of therapy unless it is needed. Some clients prefer to use the entire session time to explore their concerns deeply, while others may focus on immediate needs and prefer shorter sessions. This flexibility allows us to make the most of our time together, ensuring you receive the support you need in a way that works best for you. To ensure continuous progress, I provide tools and strategies for you to use between sessions. These may include practical exercises, coping mechanisms, and reflective practices designed to reinforce our work in therapy. This ongoing support helps maintain momentum and fosters lasting change. My straightforward yet understanding approach encourages open communication. I create a space where you can express your thoughts and feelings freely, knowing that you will be met with empathy and respect. This helps build a strong therapeutic relationship, essential for effective therapy and positive outcomes.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of Arizona and Indiana. I received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Purdue University and a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Christian Theological Seminary. I have had the opportunity to work in and gain knowledge from a diverse collection of settings that include elementary, middle and high school, hospital chaplaincy department, private practice and private agencies working with families in the child welfare system. Each of these settings has provided me with hands-on experience working with individuals and families in crisis, as well as those who are faced with navigating some of life’s challenges such as divorce, loss, and addiction. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I love a systems approach, understanding that we do not exist in a vacuum, but rather are part of larger systems. I take a non-judgmental, warm approach to therapy and I believe in tailoring my therapy towards my client's individual needs. Together we will establish goals and design a path towards a healthier way of being. I draw from a multitude of therapeutic techniques that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solutions Focused Therapy. Clients who work with me have a desire to change. Whether facing everyday challenges that are holding them back from living a fulfilling life or struggling with family dynamics that have caused distress or trying to navigate through grief, my clients can learn to use their insight to find new ways of functioning that better serve what they want from this life. My clients can see a future for themselves that brings peace, happiness and healing. The first step towards seeking help is often the most difficult. I am excited that you are here and look forward to taking this journey alongside you.
