My Approach
​

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescence and adults.  I offer counseling to individuals of all ages related to behavior, school, learning, low self esteem, depression, anxiety, ADHD, anger or sadness. I believe in helping individuals and families to help themselves by encouraging openness in communication, restoring trust to self and others and setting boundaries. My primary goal is to provide clients with a safe and supportive environment where they can explore past and present experiences. 
​

Therapy Types

I have worked in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis for over eight years and conduct effective behavior plans, self-management systems, social skills curriculum, and parent education. In addition, I have worked in the mental health field since 2012 and work with people who have had traumatic experiences in relationships, while on the job or from other life experiences. I am down to earth, engaging and straightforward. Suffering deserves compassion, understanding and empathy. Together we look at how you feel, what you believe and what you want. We go forward together and address each hurdle along the way.
