I have been in the mental health field for 18 years now. I started out working with children and adolescents in a psychiatric inpatient facility and then went on to work in the community mental health agency in our area. I have worked in private practice for 10 years. I strive to help my clients to find wholeness and healing through a variety of methods. I recognize that each client that comes into my office is in need of individual care and I try to tailor their experience in my office based on their needs. I truly want people to become the best version of themselves and recognize that each client that I work with has the resources and resiliency within in order to be who they desire to be. My job is to help them to recognize their own strength and resiliency so that they can accomplish the things in life they want to achieve.
I specialize in the treatment of trauma, building healthy attachments between parents and children, adoption work, working with children in the foster care system, personality disorders and couples and family therapy. I help people with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and relational issues, to name a few.
I have training in EMDR, Gottman Method, Attachment-based therapy and Trust-Based Relational Intervention interventions. I look forward to working with people who are in need of help with deep issues and hurts.
