I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I received my Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on marriage and family therapy from Argosy University. I have experience working in Community-Based, Justice-Involved Mental Health and private practice settings. I approach therapy from a client-centered perspective: focusing on genuineness, empathy, and helping clients connect their thoughts, feelings, and actions.
I have a passion for working with young and older adults in order to assist them in developing and utilizing the necessary coping skills to manage and thrive during difficult times and life transitions, and through needed change. My specialty areas include depression, anxiety, coping skills, relationship, decision making, and stress.
I also provide Christian counseling and I love being able to bring in the biblical perspective into mental health.
I believe the client is the expert on their feelings and presenting challenges and believe the client holds the power for change.
Additional areas of focus: Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Parenting issues, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy
