With 14 years of experience in therapy, I truly enjoy my job. I am compassionate about helping others establish a strong foundation so they can effectively cope with current struggles as well as struggles they’ll be approached with in the future. My clients would describe me as compassionate, easy to talk to, and very understanding. I'm sensitive to the unique experiences of each individual and believe connection, trust, and understanding are essential to the therapeutic process. I value getting goals accomplished and making progress during each session.Some of the areas I specialize in helping clients work through are trauma, anxiety, depression, marriage and family issues, addiction, grief and loss, self-worth and esteem, and mood disorders. I work with adults, couples, and families to help reduce negative emotions and learn healthy ways to relate to one another. I enjoy working with the LGBT community.The evidenced based approaches I use include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Emotional Freedom and Marriage Therapies and Trauma Focused Therapy. I use research-based techniques along with creative and integrative thinking tailored to the uniqueness of clients. I use a Gottman approach to working with couples. I am currently taking new clients.
