About

I hold an clinical license to practice therapy. I have been trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma, Motivational Interviewing and I utilize compassion focused strategies as well. I have a broad range of expertise including working with those who are depressed, have ongoing relationship difficulties, anxiety, trauma, find themselves in crisis, or have a complex situation. I've worked in many different settings including courts, schools, residential treatment facilities, and outpatient care. I've also worked with many different populations such as children and families, individual adults and young adults, military, and law enforcement to name some.

I often say " I view my role as a therapist to call attention to the obvious yet unnoticed" and within my practice I focus on how to make our lives a life worth living and develop ongoing skills to improve our relationships, family, work, and the self. I feel my therapeutic style is to "be real" and I work with clients to gain a deeper understanding of their personal situation to heal. I am a big advocate of respect and follow through, consistency and flexibility.

Starting the healing process is challenging for many individuals, continuing it doesn't mean you have to do it alone.
