Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate

Working as a Multidimensional Family Therapist (MDFT) for the past five years has helped me to
recognize the importance of meeting individuals where they are and working towards goals through a
collaborative, solution-focused approach. While earning my Master’s degrees in both Psychological
Sciences and Marriage and Family Therapy, I was introduced to my passion of assisting individuals
through trauma and the struggles that come from anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. I
am a certified Multidimensional Family Therapist, which is an evidence-based model with the objective
of reducing substance misuse, mental health symptoms, aggressive behavior, and negative peer
relationships while enhancing functioning and stability, prosocial involvement, and positive peer
relationships. Through this intensive in-home program, I have developed skills in working with a diverse
population of children, adults, and families. In addition to my experience with MDFT, I have also worked
with Mobile Crisis which has allowed for me to develop a strong skill set in identifying and working with
crisis pertaining to suicidal and homicidal ideation to come up with a plan that will best support the
client and their family. The therapeutic relationship between my clients and I is extremely important,
and I promise to dedicate myself to your specific needs as we work together to achieve peace, stability,
and success.
