I employ Solution Focused Brief Therapy, which has a foundation of an empathetic, non-judgmental stance, recognizing that everyone has unique journey and truth with experiences, trauma, or family/cultural traditions. We work together to establish your goals and the pace that is comfortable for you. Specifically, I utilize an array of research-based strategies, techniques, and interventions I have been trained in based on the client's needs. Including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Relationship Therapies: (Gottman Levels 1,2, & 3), Emotionally Focused Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, and other authors works on specific relationship topics such as Infidelity, Roles, and Coping Skills, Mindfulness, Conflict Methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma Therapies: Havening, EMDR, Internal Family Systems along with insight and years of experience. My focus is to hear you, to help you release the past, and to abide and thrive in the present and future as fully as possible.

I have been providing therapy for over 20 years to children, adolescents, adults, relationships, couples, and families. My journey to becoming a professional counselor and marriage/relationship therapist has included being a full-time wife/mother to five children for two decades, a Army wife for 14 years, and returning to graduate school 25 years ago to realize my long term desire to be a mental health provider. I have earned a Master of Arts in Counseling, in both Professional Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy, a Master of Divinity in Theology, a Certificate in Play Therapy, and I am a doctoral candidate in a PhD program in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have published many articles on a variety of subjects for the past decade that can be found on my LinkedIn page.
