About My Clients

Life has all sorts of obstacles for us, both expected and unexpected.

My Background and Approach

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist serving individuals, couples and families. I see most issues through a “systems” lens, meaning that I see the problem, but also how the problem affects and is affected by other factors in your life, leading to more sustained improvement. I pull from various evidence-based modalities of therapy, meaning that they’ve been researched and found to be effective and having positive outcomes. I'm familiar with various practical and actionable models as well as other relational, systemic, or insight-based models and happy to discuss your preference! I do not accept insurance. Briefly, self-payment allows for increased client privacy and confidentiality, the flexibility to avoid diagnosis when not useful, and shorter wait times without the need to contact insurance before beginning. There may be options to seek your own reimbursement from insurance, and am happy to provide a Superbill for those who request one to submit to their insurance.
