About me
I am an experienced marriage and family therapist specializing in treating children, parents, and families with a focus on attachment, family dynamics, and relationships.
I have 10-years of experience working with children, parents, and families. I have also been a clinical supervisor for over 3 years. As a therapist, I view people and therapy through a person-centered lens. This means that I believe every person has all the knowledge and resources available within themselves to solve their own problems and become who they want to be. It’s my role, as a therapist, to help them sort through it all and figure it out. I teach my clients how to understand themselves, utilize their strengths and resources, develop useful skills to manage their lives, and feel better. I help people develop self-esteem, coping skills, social skills, and emotional resilience. I also support parents in the difficult task of parenting and maintaining a healthy relationship with their child in today’s complicated world. I like to be my authentic self in session, keep it real, and encourage my clients to do the same. I absolutely love helping people through therapy and I’m not afraid to walk alongside you while you confront the hardest, scariest aspects of your life.
I provide a variety of clinical services. I specialize in treating children, parents, and families. I have advanced training in cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, solution focused therapy, trauma therapy, and emotionally focused therapy. I have 10 years of experience treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, dysfunctional family dynamics, trauma, and attachment issues. I also provide clinical supervision and consultation.
