I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for more than 10 yrs. My motivation and passion is with healing others who are experiencing life struggles and are seeking assistance with coping with life stressors such as: anger management, relational problems, and conflict resolution just to name a few. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Couple Therapy.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Clients can expect a competent and skilled therapist who guide them in achieving their mental health goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having worked in the mental health field for over a decade, I have developed a passion to help individuals, families or couples reach their goals by providing quality psychotherapy services. I have great active listening skills so that each client always feels heard and understood. I am empathic to each unique situation and I provide a safe space for my clients to openly express themselves without judgement.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with couples and families that are feeling stuck or overwhelmed with their relationship. Individual clients that suffer with identifying life goals, increased anxiety, isolations, not finding any enjoyment in life or low self-esteem.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling is appropriate for partners experiencing various relationship difficulties including frequent arguing, communication breakdowns, infidelity recovery, sexual problems, parenting disagreements, financial conflicts, or simply feeling disconnected from each other.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT suggests that psychological problems arise from distorted or unhelpful ways of thinking about ourselves, others, and the world. The therapeutic process typically involves several key components. I help clients identify negative thought patterns and all-or-nothing thinking.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
This treatment is “brief” not because it’s rushed, but because it efficiently targets specific, achievable goals. This method is used to provide compliments and affirmations are used strategically to highlight client’s strength. Rather than generic praise, these are specific observations about what the client is already doing well.
