Becoming a Therapist
Prior to becoming a therapist, I enjoyed a career in the entertainment industry. I spent several years working behind the scenes before making the leap from fictional stories to real ones. After completing my master's degree in marriage and family therapy, I joined Renewed Relationships Counseling Group. I specialize in online couples counseling and online relationship therapy for individuals under the supervision of Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist and Supervisor Stephanie Saari, LMFT.
I have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy to help couples break out of their cycle of conflict and feel more connected. Today, I utilize my background in storytelling to empathetically help couples and individuals navigate the complexities of life and relationships.
