Clinical Profile & Philosophy

My experience has included working in outpatient and community-based settings with children and adults. I currently specialize in working with adults and couples utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based practices, person-centered, and psychodynamic approaches. My basic goal is to help each client increase their understanding, insight, and awareness of themselves to facilitate personal and relational growth. My philosophy is that when we better understand our motivations, beliefs, and values we can take an active role in making lasting change in our lives. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship can be a place to grow and begin the healing process. I believe that every person has inherent value and worth and deserves a place to feel supported and cared for regardless of their past or current struggles. I am a Gottman Level 1 Certified Marital Counselor and a Certified Prepare/Enrich Premarital Counselor.
