I chose to become a therapist to help people learn how to thrive and not just survive life's events and human emotions. Indeed, I believe therapy is about change. Specifically, therapy is about changing something that isn't working the way you would want it to and not knowing how or what to do to accomplish the change.  I believe that therapy can benefit everyone at some point in their life.

My theoretical foundation is in the use of psychodynamic object relations theory. I use this for case formulation and use different theoretical interventions as needed during treatment such as Transpersonal, Jungian, Gestalt, Mindfulness, Rogerian, Existential, Women's Perspective, etc.  I am trained and have experience in various evidence based therapy interventions such as Alternative Mind Body Healing methods, which deal with various cultures and alternative methods of healing within those cultures, Emotion Focused Therapy, (EFT); Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (CBT); Dialectic Behavior Therapy, (DBT;) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, (EMDR); Motivational Interviewing (MI); Couple /Marriage Therapy; Mindfulness Therapy, and Therapy; Domestic Violence Treatment (DV).  I have experience working with a wide range of ages that involves  individuals, couples, families. This includes working with LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families.
