I find that keeping the client’s goal, their need and want, in the foreground tends to get efficient results. I integrate this into my sessions by reminding clients of this goal regularly and adapting it as needed. Additionally, I use narrative therapy to
allow the client the space and time to speak through their own issues, giving perspective as needed.

I have many years of experience working in the child welfare system, with a primary focus on familial sexual abuse and familial sex trafficking. My private practice experience is mainly with couples, focusing on infidelity, sex, and communication. I have worked with many clients, both individuals and couples, who identify as LGBTQ+. This work is very important to me, and I have been working with this community since the beginning of my career.
use a client-centered approach, allowing them to lead the way to decide what’s most important to them. A client’s time is valuable, so I don’t shy away from tough conversations, and I’m straightforward to make every session count.
