Great to meet you!

Hello and Welcome. I earned my graduate degree in counseling psychology in 1995 from National University. I have been in Private Practice since becoming Licensed in 2005. However I have been working in the mental health field since 1989. I have had experience in residential, community based and home based services throughout my career. I work with individuals, couples and families.

My approach to therapy

I come from a background in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as family systems. I am trained in EMDR and have been working with Trauma and Trauma recovery since 2007. I believe in empowering my clients to reach their own realized potential and see myself as a support to each of them along their journey to achieve their goals.

What you can expect from me

I believe that therapy doesn't just take place in the office, and therefore I will provide coping strategies and homework for my clients to begin to work toward their goals ongoing throughout therapy.
