LMFT, 25 years of experience
Hi, I am a licensed marriage and therapist with 25 years of clinical background. I am passionate about helping people and empowering them to live fully and authentically. I help my clients identify and overcome the barriers in their personal lives and relationships in order to find happiness. I provide safety, hope, understanding, and a way forward when dealing with clients' challenges and relationships. I advocate a philosophy of acceptance, compassion, empathy, and a respectful non-judgmental style with all my clients.
I believe in the importance of building trust and rapport. In the first session, I focus on gathering information about your reason for seeking therapy, and your current challenges and goals. We will work together to bridge the gap between where you are now, and the most authentic empowered version of yourself.
My strength lies in my ability to develop genuine connections with my clients. My 25 years of experience has afforded me comfort and expertise in treating a wide range of conditions.
I work with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, addiction, work stress, and family conflict.
My approach is client centered focusing on evidence based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I collaboratively work with my clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns that are contributing to their difficulties.
I use a holistic approach and look at the whole person rather than just a single area of a person's life. By emphasizing clients' skills and positive characteristics, I encourage them to gain a more empowering perspective to heal and find personal fulfillment.
Each client is unique so I integrate various techniques and theories to create a personalized treatment plan for each client.
