Welcome and hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have found an incredible passion for help individuals. I have worked extensively in substance abuse, with woman's issues (infertility), trauma, couples and family therapy. I feel it is an honor to get to work with someone during their decision to grow. I feel that my desire to help others come from my own personal experience.
In our first session, the goal is to meet and seek goals. I want to understand why you took the time to explore getting help. I will collaborate during the session and clarify your needs to best utilize your time and energy.
My greatest strengths is pulling a narrative together and adapting to the client's needs while also holding clinical boundaries. I like to explore different avenues to help my clients and try multiple interventions with skill-based work.
I utilize CBT methods to help individuals reach their goals with behavioral changes that are obtainable.
I utilize Gottman therapy for couples work and feel it is incredibly helpful to build a foundation of understanding.
I truly believe in Trauma informed care model due to it's high level of respect for the client. It allows and creates space for safety along with understanding the role safety plays in therapeutic work.
