Every journey we make in life can be both exciting and scary. If you are considering a new journey, I can help guide and support you on your way to identify your goals and make the changes needed to improve your life. I am passionate about working with anyone ready to make a change for the better, whether it be couples, families, or individuals.
As a licensed therapist since 2010, I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings; with children, adolescents, and adults in residential care settings. My approach is individualized based upon each person’s unique perspectives and needs whether it being depression and anxiety, life transitions or if you are looking to make changes to improve daily life. I utilized evidenced-based practices to assist with making changes needed to improve your life. I am trained in a variety of interventions including Behavior Modification, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing.
With couples, I utilize the Gottman Method. I have Level 1 and Level 2 training as well as training in working with Trauma and Affairs . The Gottman Method includes a detailed initial assessment as well as research-based interventions to support your relationship and strengthen weak spots to build a stronger partnership.
I also work with couples who are unsure of how they would like to move forward. Discernment is a brief type of couples therapy for couples who are uncertain about the future of their relationship. The goal is to help each partner gain clarity in making a decision about their relationship, and considering all options before committing to a specific path.
If you are ready to begin your journey, I look forward to the opportunity to work together to develop a plan that helps you create the change you are seeking.
