About Me
As a Marriage and Family Therapist and Catholic, I am dedicated to supporting couples and families to find joy in the relationships that surround them. I firmly believe everyone has the right to feel loved and find peace with each other, themselves, and God. I am excited to support clients in discovering what makes them joyful in their relationships and to support peace and harmony within families.
As a Catholic, I understand the unique aspects and challenges presenting those who practice our Faith and believe you have the right to feel heard and understood. I believe in the sacredness of marriage and families, and the importance of prayer in healing and our relationship with God and each other.
Although I am a Catholic, I have years of experience in and enjoy working with those of all faiths and backgrounds. I am deeply respectful of all of life's journeys and honor wherever you are at and work from your perspective. I believe you are the expert of your own life and am flexible with my therapeutic approach. As a strengths based therapist, I promise to remain respectful of your beliefs and life experiences.
I would be honored to share your journey with you!
Healing rooted in peace and compassion
Anxiety
I believe that anxiety treated in a spirit of exploring spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional challenges, is not only impactful, but necessary. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, as well as supporting you to grow and strengthen your own coping skills.
Depression
As challenging and dark as depression feels, I hold that there is always hope for change. As St. Francis of Assisi said, "A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows." I believe therapy can be the sunbeam to drive away the shadows!
Relationships
As a family therapist, I believe in the sacredness and importance of having harmony in all your relationships, including those with yourself and with God. I believe therapy can support healthy connections through understanding attachments and past traumas.
Couples Therapy
I believe every couple has the right to feel connected, heard, and understood. I use integrated couples techniques rooted in understanding and practicing healthy and positive ways to communicate and resolve conflict.
Trauma
I have several years of experience in treating trauma and abuse. I specialize in treating sexual abuse and I believe it is critical to have a soul-body-mind approach to healing.
Adolescent Therapy
I work with the entire family to support children to make changes. I enjoy working with parents to feel empowered to make change within their own home, and to support a healthy and harmonious environment. I use creative play interventions to make therapy fun and enjoyable for children and families!
