Taking the first step to reach out to a therapist can seem daunting, but it is my promise to my clients that I will make the process of starting therapy and beyond as stress-free as possible.  Life is already uncertain and challenging, but the therapeutic experience does not need to be. I am committed to understanding where you are in your life, where you have been, and what your hopes are for the future. As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist I would love the opportunity to partner with you on your mental health and wellness needs.

I have my MA in Clinical Psychology with a Marriage & Family emphasis with certification in Child Abuse treatment, and Drug and Alcohol treatment.  I am a certified Suicide Prevention & Awareness facilitator and feel strongly about speaking on this.  I have extensive education and experience in cognitive-behavioral theory, developmental, family systems, and narrative theory. As well as my master’s degree I also have my doctorate of education (EdD) and was a professor in the field of mental health for many years and trained those going into the counseling and therapy fields.  My doctoral dissertation and research was focused on stress and burnout.
