As a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified life coach, I am here to guide you through the many challenges we face as we navigate life.

I am passionate about working with every individual and their families, whenever needed, to help reach the goals we set together.

First session

In our first session, we’ll begin by establishing a comfortable rapport. Then, I’ll ask you to share the specific challenges you’re currently facing, whether related to anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues. Understanding your unique experiences is crucial for me to develop a personalized plan that addresses your needs. Together, we’ll identify your goals and the areas where you feel stuck, allowing us to outline actionable steps to work through in our follow-up sessions.

Strengths

Having worked as a therapist for the last 20 plus years. I believe my strength is creating a trusting and non-judgmental environment for my clients. In our sessions, I strive to foster an atmosphere where clients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and emotions openly, without fear of criticism or shame.

Ideal clients

I specialize in working with clients facing depression, anxiety, and various other struggles as they navigate the stages of their lives. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed and stuck, often grappling with self-doubt and a fear of not meeting their own expectations.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

have found that it effectively helps clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to their emotional distress. By utilizing CBT techniques, such as cognitive restructuring and exposure exercises, I guide clients in developing healthier coping strategies and more balanced perspectives.

My first conversation with Stan felt like I was talking to a longtime, trusted friend. I immediately felt comfortable, safe, and free to be myself. There was an ease to the conversation that allowed me to be open and authentic.
