M.S. in Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

 

In one of my first efforts to assist others, I volunteered as a “helper” at an organization to help those with severe cases of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in an effort to help them be integrated back into a normal life. The helpers at the center offered informal counseling, technical and computer training, and aided in job and housing searches for those that attended. I can’t imagine a better feeling than to be part of a process to help someone achieve life changing goals. During graduate school, I worked at a Practicum site that offers counseling services to members of a small community. The organization’s clientele included referrals from the local public school district and police department as well as self-referrals. I had the opportunity to work with students as young as five years old, to families and couples with a wide range of presenting problems. I personally worked on cases involving drug and alcohol abuse/dependence, adjustment disorders, phobias, anxiety disorders, and family communication conflicts as it relates to divorce and trust/mistrust issues. I also had the opportunity to discuss facts and misconceptions about drug and alcohol abuse/dependence with middle school and high school classes. 

​

Currently, I have completed over 5,000 hours of clinical experience, which includes child therapy, individual therapy, family therapy, and couples therapy.  In my treatments I have implemented a range of Family Systems Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

​

My private practice focus has been on couples therapy- from dating couples, married couples, and those going through relationship transitions. I am passionate about helping couples find a renewed connection with each other and flourish in their rekindled love. I want to meet you and hear your story!
