Great to meet you!

With more than 15 years of clinical experience as a marriage and family therapist, my work focuses on helping people gain more confidence, find fulfillment through honesty, and learn control over their feelings.

My experience includes working with people with anxiety and depression, family therapy, couples counseling, child/youth therapy, living with trauma, military life, interpersonal violence, and abuse.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I’m committed to identifying specific/emotional challenges, targeting ineffective thoughts & behaviors, and exploring harmful beliefs. Creating helpful strategies, building healthy habits, and producing healthier relationships, people can reach their goals.

I use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic models to ensure relief they need in a structured amount of time. Life is meant to be lived, not stuck in therapy until the end of time.

What you can expect from our first session

In personal training, people expect to overcome plateaus by gaining strength through repetition, building stamina, and pushing the limits of resistance training for best results. Counseling is no different. People may feel emotional pain, cry, get angry, and feel physically drained by confronting situations they normally avoid.

Sessions are structured to provide take-away skills that can be practiced immediately. Session skills will build upon each other. Expect to do work in between sessions.
