As a licensed therapist with extensive experience in various areas, I bring a non-judgmental and compassionate approach during sessions. I have a Dual Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy. I work with teens and adults, addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings
In our first sessions together, we’ll discuss what brings you to therapy and collaboratively identify specific goals you want to achieve.
My many years of educational and professional experience have given me the ability to cultivate a positive and collaborative therapeutic environment. This includes: creating a safe space where clients feel understood and supported, an optimistic outlook which helps clients envision a hopeful future, adjusting my techniques to meet the unique needs of each client and communicating clearly and effectively. These strengths contribute to a therapeutic process that is not only effective but also uplifting for clients seeking change.
I love working with young clients experiencing anxiety or depression, often linked to school stress, social pressures, or family dynamics. I also enjoy helping families dealing with conflict, whether due to communication issues, behavioral challenges in children or transitions like divorce.
I often use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in our sessions. This method emphasizes your strengths, while helping us to identify and achieve your goals quickly and effectively. Together, we will explore what's working in your life and envision your desired outcomes. By focusing on solutions rather than problems, we can create a clear path forward, empowering you to make meaningful changes.
I often use CBT to aid clients address and change negative thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors. By changing these patterns, CBT aims to alleviate distress, promote healthier ways of thinking, and improve overall emotional well-being.
As a Christian, I trained to use faith based therapy method to integrate a person’s spiritual or religious beliefs with therapeutic techniques to promote healing, personal growth, and well-being.
