Great to meet you!

I have nearly 30 years of professional work as a LMFT. I completed graduate school at Oklahoma State University. I believe I will never be more of an expert in your life than you are. Yes, I have education and experience that is helpful, but that does not make me more of an expert in your life than you are. I approach working with people with respect and curiosity to learn specific details about their lives that are unique to them.

My approach to therapy

A systemic theoretical approach. You live within a complex number of relationships (marriage/partnership, family, work, neighborhood, community, etc.) A systemic approach accounts for the many different demands you are trying to manage.

What you can expect from me

To establish "FIT". Who you choose to work with is extremely important! Do you "FIT" with me and my therapeutic style will be addressed. You will be given time to get off your chest the reason you hav sought therapeutic services. I strive to establish an environment that a safe enough to talk about hard and difficult things.
