About
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who completed my undergraduate in Theater from USIU, Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Bethel Seminary/University-San Diego, CA, and am currently pursuing my doctorate in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. I have worked with adolescents and families for over 15 years with a focus on Trauma, Eating Disorders, Depression, Anxiety, and other mental health issues. I have provided crisis prevention counseling to adolescents and their families in effort to circumvent re-admittance to inpatient settings. I have facilitated groups for women, transitional age youth, and individuals with relationship challenges.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, dialectical behavioral therapeutic interventions, and other therapeutic modalities. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs
I have a passion for seeing people live a fulfilled and victorious life.
