About Me

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In my more than fifteen years of practice I have helped clients with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, communication and conflict resolution. In 1997 I became a certified domestic violence advocate. I have lead a variety of group sessions including pre-marital, anger management, victims of crime, and self empowerment workshops. EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) has always fascinated me. I became EMDR trained and have seen the effectiveness of this type of therapy. EMDR helps clients resolve and heal from emotionally overwhelming or traumatic experiences. I have a deep passion for what I do. To help individuals overcome any obstacle that may be preventing them from achieving maximum personal satisfaction with their life is a privilege.
