“Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall (Confucius). I believe that it's important for people to recognize and learn from their life's difficulties so they have every opportunity for personal growth. I have a Master of Arts Degree in Mental Health Counseling and Child, Couple, Family Therapy. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Child Mental Health Specialist. I have worked in a variety of settings: Inpatient and Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment, School, Probation, Rehabilitation (Psychiatric, Drug and Alcohol) as well as facilitating Individual, Family, Couple, and Group Therapy since 2001.

As a therapist, I use a variety of strategies based on my client(s) goals. The work we do may include: movement, utilization of educational materials, art or play therapy, systemic work, behavior modification, and other techniques based on a solution focused, client-centered and/or cognitive-behavioral approach.

I strive to provide a safe environment for my client(s) to process their thoughts, feelings & choices by exploring their life challenges and difficulties. Therapy often involves risk-taking and can be challenging at times, but it is my hope that it will also be a supportive and an empowering experience.”
