Thank you for taking time to visit my profile. Choosing a therapist can be a difficult process and you are likely already overwhelmed. Let me walk alongside you as we navigate through your struggles. Depression, anxiety, grief, behavioral concerns, parenting, ADD, trauma, or intimacy and relational problems, I want to help you achieve a happy and well-balanced life. Together we can work towards improving negative symptoms and establishing positive outcomes. I work with ages from 3 to 80+. I provide office visits and phone sessions. I am an interactive therapist who uses an array of therapeutic techniques.
I have a PhD in Psychology and Theology, a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and a Neuropsychology Certificate. I am nationally certified in Trauma-Focused CBT and Gottman trained in marriage therapy (level 2). My treatment approach will provide support and feedback to help you resolve current and long-standing concerns.
