Experience

I have the experience of working with a diverse range of clients and as a Marriage and Family therapist, I specialize in all types of relational dynamics. I boldly believe that we are all “co-creators” of our experiences that we end up calling “life.” I see all relationships as laboratories of the spirit and hospitals of the soul. They are places where the wounds we hold will be brought up and through safety and vulnerability they can be healed.

I am an EMDRIA trained Level II Certified EMDR clinician.. As an EMDR trained therapist, I help clients recover from traumatic experiences, debilitating anxiety, overcome areas in their life that they have become “stuck”, redefine negative self-beliefs, extinguish phobias and build resilience. I utilize and am trained in therapeutic modalities including, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment Therapy, Gottman, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness. I have a broad range of professional experiences ranging from providing equine assisted therapy, working in the private practice setting, the educational arena, psychiatric hospitals, trauma centers, substance abuse treatment facilities and providing support to our military veterans, all first responders and their families.

I have worked with a wide variety of issues including: Relationship Distress, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Couple’s/Family therapy (including marital, premarital, remarriage, blended family challenges). Additionally, I am experienced and offer support regarding parenting, divorce recovery, complicated grief, self-harm, addiction/substance use and recovery from traumatic brain injuries (TBI’s).
