Great to meet you!

Hi! My name is Tiffany and I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who believes in the importance of mental wellness. With over 10 years of experience, I treat adult individuals, couples and families. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, conflict, grief/loss and other issues that often interfere with living a happy and healthy lifestyle. My hope is for you to experience mental and emotional wellness by prioritizing your mental health and wellbeing and I'm here to assist and support you along the way.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client-centered. I provide a safe space for you to explore your feelings in an environment that encourages new thoughts and behaviors focused on achieving your goals. I will meet you where you are and challenge you to go where you desire to be collaboratively and sensitively. I also offer faith-based treatment to those who may find it helpful.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I will answer any questions you may have, gather background information about you, then focus on what brings you into therapy and what you hope to accomplish in our time together. This may take more than one session, but it will help me to create an individualized plan for our future sessions.
