My goal in my psychotherapy practice is to help others rid themselves of fear and embrace love. When you become an active partner in your healing, barriers that prevent you from living your life to the fullest disappear. Through Emotional Release techniques, attachment-based therapy, and an exploration of internal family systems, we get to the heart of what is holding you back, and what your greatest purpose/potential is in this lifetime. Sometimes the way we think and talk about our lives limits our choices and perspectives. I help you recognize what is not working for you, and provide tools and practices to build your self-confidence, trust in your own insight, and strengthen your ability to let go and speak your truth. If you are ready to take control of your own life and do everything on your bucket list: let's work together.

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

In the first session, we will determine if we are a good fit for each other. Therefore, we will be discussing your goals for therapy. I will ask you what will your life look like if the problem/s that brought you here today were resolved. If you are ready to be a partner in your own healing journey, then we may be ready to work together.

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

I am direct and empathetic. I challenge and empower my clients. Therapy is an interactive process. I will not let you stay stuck. I will empower, not enable you. I will help you create options for change. I will help you explore your feelings, but I will not allow you to attempt to make them go away.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Our thoughts and feelings both positively and negatively impact our behaviors. I help my clients gain insight into their emotions, leading to healthy choices.

Attachment-based

I help my clients identify unhealthy attachment patterns that occurred during their childhood and subsequently become mirrored in their adult relationships

Couples Counseling

I offer communication education in order to help couples identify their attachment and communication patterns that can become barriers to effective conflict resolution.

Child Parent Psychotherapy

I offer parent education and family counseling to remove barriers to effective communication between parents and children.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Clients who work with me are able to identify the physical manifestations that emotions create in the human body.
