___________________________________________________________________________
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, also known as a psychotherapist. I treat individuals, couples, children, teens, families, and groups. My specialties include: Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Sexual Abuse/ Assault, Relationship Issues, Familial Dysfunction, Marital Discord, Premarital Counseling, Adolescent Behavior/ Misbehavior, Anger-Management, Spirituality, Depression, Anxiety, and Personal Crises. ___________________________________________________________________________
I am a firm believer in shopping around for the right therapist. A strong alliance between therapist and patient is key to the success of therapy. Finding a therapist that fits your style and needs can be difficult. My role as a therapist is to provide my patients with support and guidance so that they can create their own desired path. ___________________________________________________________________________
I use a wide range of treatment modalities and theoretical orientations. I do believe that our past shapes who we are, and understanding our past can shape who we will become. I also believe in focusing on the present moment to find peace and happiness. Lastly, I believe that all behaviors have consequences. For every action, there is a reaction. ___________________________________________________________________________
