Great to meet you!
Our relationships can hold great rewards, and, at times, great pain. People require physical and emotional contact with others, but this need is complicated...relationships are complicated. Because relationships are so important, it is equally important that those relationships be part of emotional healing, even when others cannot be present in the counseling room. My philosophy is that work with clients is collaborative. I may be seen as an expert regarding certain issues, and a neutral person to introduce a new perspective, but my clients are the experts on themselves and their families.
I have a diversity of education and specializations that can meet many needs. My PhD is in Family Therapy. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor (LMFT-S), a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), and a former Registered Play Therapist. I work with couples, families, adults, adolescents, and children as young as 2 years.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful tool I can bring to the table. Although I may present many methods to assist clients in healing, I believe that a trusting relationship with a client is the foundation to all other work done.
