Have you ever felt stuck? Alone? Worried? Misunderstood? Hurt? Helpless? I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has worked with those who have felt the same way. I have been practicing since 2017 working with adults, children, couples, and families in a variety of different settings, including in a faith-based setting, university, and community-based mental health treatment centers.

My ideal patient is curious and open to discovery. They are willing to make changes to the way they see and do things and are willing to advocate for change. Many of my clients are motivated by a desire for reconciliation, healing, and often justice.

I am often able to identify emotional and psychological obstacles that are preventing people from achieving the quality of life that they desire. I strive to assist people with personal, professional and work related concerns to achieve goals that will improve the quality of their life. I seek to facilitate self-respect and build on existing psychological strengths to assist people in developing a more empowered and confident self image. The overall primary goal of treatment in this office is to assist people in making choices that will increase the likelihood of their achieving more satisfying personal and professional success.

You can do this, you are worth investing in!

I have a special interest in working with couples and families and in doing Dream Work with my individual clients. Much of the therapeutic work I do is based on the theories of Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, & James Hillman. However, I do balance my practice using other therapeutic techniques from other theorists as well. It is not so important for me to apply a certain theory or my own beliefs on a client but instead it is my intention to really understand my clients' own personal beliefs and expectations of therapy. This aids in

My belief is that at heart each wants to lead a meaningful life. We want to enjoy achievements, milestones, and enjoy our loved ones. We also need to feel loved, needed and appreciated. Our work, social and family life reflect our spiritual and philosophical beliefs...and when they don't, we feel in conflict with ourselves, and seek assistance to get into a place of feeling good. I'll work with you to support you in improving your life, with a beginning focus on those factors that are critical now. We'll work together for your well-being. The intake packet asks you to list the issues you want to address & indicate priority.

I think that all humans including patients desire to be seen, heard and valued. When I bring compassion, empathy, and healing into my therapy room, my patients are more motivated to do the work necessary to heal from whatever pain has brought them to therapy. This may include relationship issues, anger issues, depression, anxieties or panic attacks, PTSD symptoms, OCD, emotional dysregulation, grief and loss, etc. The patient’s goal is usually to just feel better or resolve the issue as quickly as possible. My job, as I see it, is to meet them where they are and provide them with the tools they need to begin their healing journey.

I can help you help your teen with an eating disorder heal and become a healthy independent young adult who can go about the business of building his or her life.

Career Counseling, Depression/Anxiety are primary specializations. I believe the client is his/her own best therapist and already possesses the necessary wisdom for healing to begin. I can facilitate this process by providing a safe, non-intrusive, supportive environment.
