(He/Him/His)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
As a therapist, I am warm, empathetic, and understanding. I help my clients find healthy, constructive ways to optimize their mental health and wellness.
My ideal client is someone coping with mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and/or substance abuse. I specialize in Behavioral Activation - an evidenced based intervention for treating mood disorders and moving clients toward their goals. I also enjoy working with couples and families to help them communicate better and resolve interpersonal conflicts in a healthy way. I have been passionate about systemic couple and family therapy since becoming a therapist in 2019. I'm a certified Prepare-Enrich marital/premarital counselor and trained in the Gottman Method of couples therapy, with good outcomes. As a therapist, I am warm, empathetic, and understanding. I believe all thoughts, feelings, and behavior serve a purpose. I help clients identify their purpose and then help them find healthier, more constructive ways to accomplish that purpose. I believe every person is unique and I help each client self actualize their full potential. Let's talk about it! I look forward to helping you achieve your mental health goals. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation, to schedule an appointment, or find out about our offered services and rates. Thanks!
