Gilbert & Virtual APPOINTMENTS

I am a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I have experience working with

couples, adults, and teenagers. I specialize in working with Couples and the LGBTQ+ community. I

earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University and my Bachelor’s

of Science in Psychology from Brigham Young University-Idaho.

Life can be challenging, especially with the current state of the world. Sometimes we need extra

help to handle these challenges. In my office there is room for any identity and any struggle, as I

believe we are all unique and deserve space for our uniqueness. My goal as a therapist is to

provide a space for my clients to build trust in themselves, identify strengths, and develop new

skills to facilitate the desired change. I am pursuing advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman Skills for couples and families.  Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, which is primarily used to effectively process past trauma. I also often draw from Internal Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

I look forward to connecting with you!

I am pursuing full licensure and am supervised by Charise Schwertfeger, LMFT (LMFT-15133).
