I love being a therapist and coming along side of my clients empowering their growth and helping them heal. I have worked in psychiatric hospital, residential, and outpatient settings as a therapist and supervisor for the past 10 years, so I have provided therapy to clients with a diversity of diagnosis, cultures, and circumstances. I am particularly interested in working with clients that have had traumatic experiences, as well as the day-to-day challenges they face in our society. I am a certified EMDR therapist and I am trained in DBT. My wife and I are foster parents and have adopted from the foster system, so I have some additional perspectives in those areas.
