I believe that working with a therapist should be an experience that not only assists individuals in regaining control of their lives but also empowers them to be the person that they want to be. I strive to create caring, therapeutic relationships where new strategies can be learned, difficult issues can be addressed, distress can be reduced, and self-worth can grow and flourish.

I employ both Cognitive Behavioral, EMDR, and Reality Therapy approaches with individuals of all ages to challenge irrational thoughts and reduce negative behavior. I'm also a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor. Play is a child's natural language, and Play Therapists use specialized techniques to allow children to express themselves through their play.

I have worked previously in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, outpatient mental health practice, and extensively with military families. This background has provided me with a great deal of personal experience that I employ to help clients achieve real, positive change in their lives.
