I am a License Mental Health Counselor with 10 years-experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and addiction. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered therapy, and Gottman Method. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
Our first session will be laid back and comfortable. It is a time for us to get to know each other and I will go over what my treatment plan. We will work together to make sure your time in therapy is one you want to come back to. We will work together, and my promise is that we will continue to work together until we figure it out together.
I am empathetic and kind. You will find a comfortable environment with collaboration of treatment between my client and I.
I use CBT to help reframe ways of thinking. CBT focuses on modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts by examining and uprooting negative or irrational beliefs. It is considered a “solutions-oriented” form of talk therapy, emphasizing that our thoughts and perceptions influence behavior.
I use a variety of techniques to help rebuild intimacy and learn communication skills.
I honor that your feelings come first, so I will always put your wants and needs first.
