A dragonfly symbolizes the potential of therapy. It symbolizes transformation and stripping away the negativity that holds us back so we can achieve our goals and dreams. I find that people come to therapy because they are struggling and they want things to change. I often tell my clients that if they could have changed things on their own they would have. There are times when you need help to reach your full potential, that's where I come in.
My approach is kind, compassionate, and directive. I believe that my job is to give my clients tools to put in their toolbox to cope with anxiety, depression, and other life stressors. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and couples therapy. I help clients work on stopping the negative thinking and beliefs that are attributing to what is keeping them stuck by using evidence based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and The Daring Way™ based on the research of Brené Brown.
I have been a licensed marriage and family therapist for 20 years. I knew I wanted to be a counselor since I was a senior in high school. I have always wanted to help other people and help them reach their potential. I have worked in many different settings over the years. I started out my career at a residential drug and alcohol facility for adolescents. I then went onto work as a therapist for the Drug Court in the 9th Judicial District. I have taught a DUI program for 14 years with my CACIII. My passion is mental health. I have worked for two local community mental health centers for 15 years, a small outpatient practice for 6 years and in the private practice setting for several years.
