I started my career working at the Veterans Healthcare Administration in 2003 and have experience helping veterans and their families struggling with homelessness, substance abuse, sexual abuse, legal problems, and mental health issues. In 2024, I began working in private practice with individuals and couples dealing with depression, anxiety, communication challenges, substance abuse, self esteem and major life transitions.
I believe strongly in supporting clients to discover their individual strengths and providing a safe place to express themselves. My approach is client centered and strengths based. When working with couples I use evidence based therapies from the Gottman Method. I have therapeutic interests in relationships, communication skills, anxiety, and depression.
I create a warm, welcoming environment for clients to go at their own pace in counseling. Clients are supported in between sessions with worksheets and journaling prompts.
