Opening up to someone new and trusting that person with what may often be the most tender places in your life can be a challenging step to take. My commitment to clients is to support an environment of acceptance, compassion, and change. I completed my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2012 and am licensed as a LMFT-Supervisor and LPC. I am trained as a TBRI Educator, an intervention model for caregivers, and am an EMDRIA Certified Therapist, an intervention for individuals who have experienced trauma.

My approach to counseling is very collaborative and goal oriented. I see each client as the expert of their lives carrying with them wisdom from their lived experiences. I utilize models of therapy such as CBT, EMDR,IFS, EFT, and Motivational Interviewing. I seek ongoing feedback for the process to ensure we are on the same page and feel the process is beneficial. You are making an investment into your growth and healing and I seek to support and maximize that investment.

I seek to provide an affirming, warm and inviting environment. Depending on the focus of counseling, some sessions may involve goals for the week or tools to practice skills learned in session. Clients should feel that their autonomy and feedback into the process are highly regarded.
