Marriage & Family Therapist
Hello, I’m Hillary. I am a Marriage and Family therapist with over 25 years of experience working with individuals and families. I have also worked for many years in school counseling and providing parenting classes.
During our first session, I want to get to know you and how I can best support your goals. I was drawn to become a therapist in college after losing my mother. Therapy helped me heal and grow as a person. I enjoy guiding others to heal and grow in therapy.
I provide a warm, comfortable, and non-judgmental approach while challenging you to look at your life situations, process your choices, and consider if they work for you or against you. I utilize solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy tools.
My work focuses on individual and family therapy, parenting strategies, healing from divorce or losses, and adoption counseling.
