As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in helping individuals and families navigate complex emotional landscapes with compassion, creativity, and evidence-based techniques. I integrate somatic exercises, mirror work, and trauma-informed approaches like Internal Family Systems to foster deep healing and self-empowerment. My practice is rooted in creating a safe, supportive space for clients to explore their unique stories and build resilience. Whether you’re seeking to repair relationships, overcome anxiety or trauma, or reconnect with yourself, I provide tools and insights to guide your journey toward balance and well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and non-judgmental environment where we’ll focus on building a sense of trust and safety. I’ll take time to understand your story, goals, and what brought you to therapy. Together, we’ll explore your current challenges and begin identifying patterns or strengths that can inform our work. I’ll introduce my approach and explain how techniques like somatic exercises or Internal Family Systems might support your goals. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a clearer sense of what to expect from our work together and some initial tools to support you outside of therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a safe and compassionate space where clients feel seen and understood. I excel at tailoring evidence-based techniques, like trauma-informed practices and somatic work, to meet each client’s unique needs. My integrative approach helps clients navigate complex emotions, rebuild relationships, and foster a deeper connection to themselves. I bring authenticity, empathy, and creativity into every session, empowering clients to step into their fullest potential with confidence and resilience.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
The ideal client for my practice is someone ready to engage in meaningful self-reflection and growth, whether they are individuals navigating trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, or families seeking deeper connection and understanding. I am best positioned to serve clients who resonate with a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that incorporates somatic work, Internal Family Systems, and creative techniques like mirror work. My clients often value building self-awareness, healing past wounds, and strengthening their relationships with themselves and others. They are open to exploring innovative, holistic tools to achieve emotional resilience and personal empowerment.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Eclectic
• Mindfulness Practices: Using mindfulness techniques from DBT or ACT to help clients develop awareness and manage emotions. • Psychoeducation: Teaching clients about mental health, coping strategies, or the impact of trauma, drawing from CBT or psychodynamic concepts. • Behavioral Activation: Often used for clients with depression, this involves scheduling activities that bring pleasure or accomplishment, combining CBT and behavioral approaches. • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): Emphasizing solutions rather than problems, encouraging clients to visualize their preferred future and identify steps to achieve it. • Somatic Techniques: Incorporating body-focused exercises, like grounding techniques, to address somatic symptoms and increase bodily awareness, especially relevant in trauma-informed practice.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
• Cognitive Restructuring: Helping clients identify and reframe negative or irrational thoughts that contribute to emotional distress. • Behavioral Experiments: Testing out beliefs or fears in real-life situations to collect new evidence, useful for addressing anxiety and phobias. • Exposure Therapy: Gradually exposing clients to feared stimuli in a safe and controlled way to reduce fear responses, especially for clients with anxiety or PTSD. • Thought Records: Having clients track their thoughts, feelings, and reactions in specific situations to identify cognitive patterns and underlying beliefs. • Skill Building (e.g., Problem-Solving, Communication): Teaching practical skills, such as assertive communication or effective problem-solving, to enhance coping abilities.
Humanistic
• Empathic Reflection and Active Listening: Actively listening, then reflecting the client’s feelings and thoughts back to them to deepen their self-awareness. • Unconditional Positive Regard: Showing acceptance and respect for clients regardless of what they reveal, creating a nonjudgmental space. • Gestalt Techniques (e.g., Empty Chair): Encouraging clients to role-play conversations with parts of themselves or others to gain insight into unresolved issues or conflicts. • Self-Actualization Exercises: Encouraging clients to explore their strengths, passions, and values to cultivate a sense of purpose. • Expressive Arts Therapy: Using creative processes like drawing, painting, or writing as a means of self-exploration and healing.
