My Role

Marriage and Family Therapy is sometimes misunderstood.  It is easy to assume that Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs) only work with couples and families facing problems.  After all, this is implied in my title.  However, I work with a range of clients.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I understand the impact that relationships have on our lives and will take into account your relationships with your family and friends as we work together individually.  My training and experience has given me the opportunity to see problems through a lens that includes the intricate balance of belief, culture, upbringing, and relationships. An MFT is a great fit for individuals as I understand these influences that exist in all of our lives.   
 
As a therapist it is a privilege and honor to be a part of your life journey as you explore and process some of life's challenges.  I always strive to provide a uniquely safe place which has the power to be tremendously healing--and within it, I can help you discover new ways of relating to your thoughts, your feelings and the world around you.
