About My Clients

My ideal client is a family struggling to communicate or experiencing behavioral challenges who are ready and willing to make changes for the betterment of the family. While my focus is family therapy, I work with individuals and couples as well.

My Background and Approach

I have been in practice since July 2020. I have a Master of Arts Counseling degree with an emphasis on Family Therapy. I currently hold the following credentials: Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor. I believe the therapeutic alliance is a conduit for connection and growth and thus, place this first and foremost in my approach to therapy. Through our connection, my clients will find a space to reflect and challenge themselves to accomplish what they want in life and their relationships.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In my experience working with youth and their families, it has been apparent that change requires the dedication and commitment of the entire family to treatment. For this reason, I encourage every family member to attend and engage in session. This approach to family therapy can be daunting, however, it is an approach that elicits a greater response to treatment, ultimately resulting in more productive outcomes. I believe everyone has, within them, the skills and knowledge to bring about the change they most desire. It is my intent to help my clients recognize these strengths within themselves and find solutions for their challenges.
