I work from a client-centered perspective, which means that I focus therapy on what my clients feel is most important to them. I always strive to understand my clients’ strengths and offer creative ways to use those strengths to overcome adversity. I believe that being authentic is the best way to help my clients feel that they are in a place where they are supported and can be open about their hardships. I particularly enjoy working with military and first responders, trauma, couples, grief, and pregnancy and childbirth related issues. As a Marine Corps Veteran and the wife of a veteran, I have insight into the unique experiences that military members and their families face. Deciding to talk with someone can be daunting, but having a therapist with a common ground can make things much easier.
