About
*PLEASE NOTE DOES NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE* Welcome! I’m so excited that you have stopped by. I’m Aimee and as a wife and mom to two boys (one with autism), I know there is both joy and difficulty in being married, raising a family and having a career. I have 20 years experience as an instructional designer, talent development manager, and performance consultant. Often I am asked why I left a successful corporate career to become a Marriage and Family Therapist. And here is why I took the initial step. When my son was going through the very long journey of getting a diagnosis with autism (and any parent who has a child with autism knows what I mean by that), I started using my lean and six sigma tools to help with his treatment. I also started to help other families and noticed the huge emotional toll this diagnosis had on them but was not being addressed. So I decided to pursue my therapy license. When I started my work in the mental health field, I noticed there was a strong opportunity to bridge the two worlds of mental health and corporate training/development. I know that many people and companies put great effort into learning the latest knowledge and skills to improve their work. In mental health field, I noticed that there is a large gap in using the same structure, methods, and efforts into learning the knowledge and skills needed for personal life. There is no required course for becoming parents, no adult learning principles applied to the relationship skills for a marriage, and no defined learning for basic living skills. On the flip side, I have counseling sessions with clients whose work place and leadership lacks incredible communication skills and emotional awareness that negatively impacts their personal life. From these experiences, my mission was born!
