Biography: As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I am dedicated to the supporting the well-being of my clients from a Christian perspective, though I welcome all who seek counseling, regardless of religious background. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or parenting/marital troubles, I provide a safe place for you to come individually, as a family, or as a couple. While traditional therapy focuses more on the individual, MFT examines how an individual's behavior affects both the individual and their relationship as part of a couple or family. The theory behind MFT is that regardless of whether a problem appears to be within an individual or within a family, getting other family members involved in the therapeutic process will result in more effective solutions. MFT is goal-oriented and works toward an established end result. In recent years, MFT practitioners and groups have called for expanded approaches to traditional MFT training that incorporate more "real world" practices to integrate other therapies and become more inclusive of non-heterosexual couples and families. I would address the behaviors of all family members and the way these behaviors affect not only individual family members, but also relationships between family members and the family unit as a whole. As such, treatment is usually divided between time spent on individual therapy and time spent on couple therapy, family therapy, or both, if necessary.

Biography: Hello! By looking into help opportunities, you've taken a big step toward making a life change. The next big step is finding the right person to work with you! I firmly believe anyone who wants to learn and grow, become healthier, or just cope with the day-to-day stressors of life can benefit from working with a well-matched therapist. In addition to being a clinically-trained, doctoral-level psychologist who has worked in a variety of settings (academic, correctional, community/business, and private practice), I'm also a wife, mom, church Worship Leader, and former secondary English teacher. My experiences have exposed me to many of the challenges and struggles life can bring, and it is my strong opinion that the happiest and most successful people are those who recognize when they need help, have the wisdom to look for it in the right places, and can balance the courage and humility it takes to accept it once they find it. Often the best support and advice can be found in trusted family members and/or friends. However, for most of us, challenges and struggles do arise from time to time for which we just need something different. I offer knowledge and skills along with objectivity, insight, and confidentiality to join with clients in their efforts to overcome challenges, find a sense of peace, and thrive. As mentioned above, I have worked with clients in a variety of settings, both outpatient and inpatient. Most of my work has been with adults and adolescents, though I do have some experience with pre-teens. At this time, I'm focusing my professional efforts on working with adults in individual therapy, but I am comfortable working on relationship, family, and/or parenting issues in that context. I've successfully treated clients presenting with a diversity of issues, including emotional and behavioral problems and disorders, personality disorders, relationship difficulties, school and work issues, adjustment difficulties, and addiction-related problems. Meeting my clients where they are with respect, empathy, and compassion is my overarching goal. I have a Christian worldview which is foundational to everything I do, personally and professionally. This worldview undergirds my cognitive-behavioral orientation, and I am comfortable incorporating techniques from other theoretical approaches to help my clients develop, progress, and achieve healthy goals. I have had success and enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life, so if my background and approach sound like they might meet your needs, contact me. * Important Information I am a PsyPact credentialed provider.
