About Me
As a collaborative-narrative family therapist, I assist individuals and families in relieving anxiety, stress, and in making the necessary changes to enrich their lives. I find it an honor to walk with families endeavoring to make a change. I provide trauma-informed therapeutic interventions with children, families, and individuals.
Education & Experience
I have a Master of Science degree in Family Therapy. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist by temporary license. My educational background also includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and a Master’s Degree in Public Administration. I have many years of experience working with high conflict families providing parenting coordination services implementing and monitoring safe, workable parenting plans, and reducing conflict in families. I have also taught in elementary schools and worked with children and adults with physical and cognitive challenges. I have experience developing support groups for multiracial families and those with experiencing transracial adoptions. I am an EMDRIA Approved EMDR therapist working toward certification
