About me
I am an experienced therapist who believes there is hope as long as I can help you gain new perspective.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience in community mental health. After years of clinical practice, I am dedicated to mentoring the next generation of therapists as a clinical trainer and supervisor. I am also dedicated to helping community-based nonprofits establish therapeutic helping models for diverse populations in need such as Domestic Violence, Drug Awareness and Clinical Conceptualization. As a faculty trainer with the Traumatic Stress Institute, I am committed to trauma informed treatment approaches that recognize what has happened in your life rather than what is wrong with you. I have experience working through Cognitive Behavior Therapy, but am flexible to integrate other models to meet your specific needs. My professional journey has landed me in the world of academia and I currently teach at Fuller Seminary, a Christian integrated Psychology Program. I’m an innovative enthusiastic therapist who will work hard to individualize treatment to meet your specific needs.
