Experience
I am a marriage and family therapist with more than twelve years of counseling experience. Following graduate school, I devoted five years to counseling adolescents and their families at a psychiatric residential treatment facility. During this time I advanced from Therapist to Supervisor to Clinical Director before stepping down from full-time agency work to launch my own private practice.
