Hello, I am a Master's level intern who is working towards completing clinical hours needed towards my Master's Degree. Therapy can be an intimidating thought, especially if you do not know what to expect about the person sitting across from you. As your therapist, I will strive to create a comfortable, inviting, and safe environment so that we can build that therapeutic relationship which I believe has to be present in order for therapy to be beneficial for you.

Utilizing an open-minded approach, I address the whole person by using modalities of treatment that fit individual client needs. I see my role as your counselor is to give you the space to navigate through life's stressors, reprocess distressing experiences, and increase self-awareness.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
