My goal in working with clients is to provide support, compassion, and accountability as well as to offer resources and tools to empower individuals, increase their confidence, and further begin to identify and make progress in achieving their goals. I believe that treatment should not be conducted as a one size fits all approach; instead I desire to work in collaboration with clients to identify and progress in achievement of client specific goals through therapeutic interventions utilizing evidence based treatment and therapeutic modalities.
I have completed training and have experience in various forms of therapy including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Ego State Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy and more; I utilize material from the Hope Restored Marriage Intensive Program provided by Focus on the Family, The Gottman Institute, and more.
If you have any questions or are interested in scheduling an initial session for either individual or couples counseling please feel free to contact me either by email or phone; I look forward to hearing from you in the future!

Personally, I hold the philosophy of "practice what you preach" and in my work as a counselor I would never recommend a therapy approach for my clients that I either have not or would not be willing to utilize myself. I have participated personally as a client utilizing EMDR therapy in addition to having experience providing EMDR therapy.
