About My Clients
As a Marriage and Family therapist, my focus is on treating the whole system opposed to only part of the unit. My education and experiences have focused on populations including couples, families, and individuals. The areas that I specialize in are substance use, eating disorders, marital distress, mental health diagnoses, behavioral health diagnoses, and trauma.
My Background and Approach
I knew I was interested in pursuing a career in therapy when I visited a medium-level security correctional facility and was given the opportunity to immerse myself with inmates and the reasoning for their incarceration. Hearing their tragic history led to an awareness around the patterns and impact one’s family of origin may have on our lives and experiences. These realizations paired with my education are what ultimately led to my interest in a collective approach to therapy. I am a certified addiction specialist (CAS) and have been working in the substance use field for over three years in residential settings with both adolescent and adult populations. I have also worked with eating disorders and coexisting mental and behavioral health issues in partial hospitalization programs for a collective two and a half years. My understanding of substance use, eating disorders, and mental and behavioral health disorders for a variety of ages has made trauma a central focus of my work.
