I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that focuses on just that, marriages and families. My skills base also benefits individual clients, given that many issues center around their relationship and/or family. I have lived in many states all over the country but spent most of my childhood in San Diego. I currently live in Michigan with my blended family of twin step-sons, daughter, son, two dogs, and husband.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I'll gather some background information about you, your habits, family, and goals for therapy. We often find some common ground in therapy which largely puts clients at ease. I have also received positive feedback in my method of seeing each partner individually for one session prior to beginning couples therapy. It is not a requirement to begin therapy with me, but it is an option that I suggest you utilize.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I'm relatable. I'm a parent, a wife, and I have a blended family. I think an important part of connecting with your therapist is having the sense that they know what they are talking about because they are living it.
