About

I Listen, Empower Action, and Support Transformative Change

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist committed to helping Individuals and Couples learn how to build healthier relationships with themselves and others. My treatment focus includes the following: Addressing ineffective behaviors and patterns; Identifying unhealthy thoughts and beliefs in relation to self and others; Processing and encouraging the expression of feelings. I believe in the significance of a collaborative therapeutic relationship in order to help clients reach their goals and maintain improvements. I’m passionate about guiding the development of internal resources, connecting clients with external community resources, and establishing support systems to aid in the healing process to establish an overall healthy well-being. If you are interested in scheduling a phone consultation with me (at no charge), I encourage you to contact me by phone or email.
