Hello, I'm M.L. I believe as humans we all want something similar, to feel normal. We want, desire, and try our best to feel like everyone else. Yet, simultaneously we desire to be unique, special, and individualistic. I believe it is necessary to think of humans as puzzle pieces in order to fulfill both. While the pieces share the same geographical space as well as have the same manufacturer, they are unique and serve varying purposes. Do you belong at the top but are content being a side piece? Are you on the bottom when you were meant to be at the center of it all? Let's collaborate and find out where you belong. You may discover the only thing wrong was where you (as a puzzle piece) tried to fit in. In therapy, I collaborate with the expert on the client (you), identify obstacles, and come up with strategies for working toward your goals. I do this by first remaining curious about you as a client as well as your perspective of the issue. I serve to remind clients that everything in life does not have to feel good in order to end with good results. You can't fix something that you don’t see. In a world of selfies no one is willing to look at any angle that doesn’t compliment their cuteness. What if you could see your truest self? The natural, emotional, relational, and spiritual you through a 3-way full body mirror. Imagine what would be possible. Good therapy, is a mirror into your soul.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session we will get to know one another as well as what we can look forward to in our future sessions. I will get an. account of why you are here and what you are expecting. Also, because I am interested in who you are I will want to know about some of the things that contributed to you becoming the person that you are. Lastly, if needed I want to make sure you walk away knowing what therapy is as well as how it can be helpful.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have spent the abundance of my career as a therapist working in crisis services. This means when my clients life is unraveling I have been there to try and assist them and picking up the pieces. In a world where everything feels chaotic & crazy it's nice to be reminded that, "Yes, this world is bonkers and No, it's not just you".

I became interested in and began practicing this model of therapy because of it’s central concepts: Every individual is unique. We better understand this when we see how early influence impacted people’s upbringing . What people think and believe determine how they attach meaning to life. How a person connects with others is central to their satisfaction with life. I want to assist people with seeing themselves and not just their mistakes.
