I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT). I am licensed in Arizona and California. I've been working in the counseling field for about 15 years. I have counseling expertise in the following areas; anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, family conflict and relationships. I also have treated Individuals and Families with addiction and alcoholism.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first sessions we will have brief introductions. I will be asking questions to learn about your challenges you are experiencing. This will provide a plan for our future sessions together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have worked in a variety of settings such as treatment facilities for addictions and mental health disorders, Outpatient and IOP facilities for mental health disorders, treatment centers for vietnam veterans, and environments that provided mental health services to homeles and serious mentally ill individuals. Working in all of these different environments and with hundreds of clients has provided me the ability to learn about mental health solutions and interventions.

My treatment methods

Narrative

Narrative therapy, is a powerful psychotherapeutic approach that empowers clients to explore and reshape their life stories, particularly those overwhelmed by challenges and emotional distress. During sessions, clients engage in open dialogues with their therapists, delving into their narratives and actively challenging the ones that contribute to their struggles. By separating problems from personal identity, narrative therapy emphasizes the belief that individuals are the ultimate authorities in their own lives. Through this collaborative process, clients gain a deep understanding of their values and skills, enabling them to effectively confront present and future issues and pave the way for transformative change.

Relational

Relational therapy is founded on the concept of relationships with others being an essential aspect of emotional well-being. Individuals who find it difficult to maintain supportive and healthy relationships may experience a sense of disconnection in addition to feelings of diminished self-worth and general distress, and their sense of emotional well-being may negatively affected. Relational therapy may be beneficial for those who find emotional regulation challenging, and it has also been shown to be helpful in the treatment of relational difficulties experienced with anxiety, stress, or depression.
