I am a dedicated and highly motivated client-focused Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. Therapy does not have to be dry, boring, or scary and it's okay to have fun in therapy. We all share in the HUMAN EXPERIENCE! So I may not have the same experiences as you, however, I know what feels like to make mistakes, experience hurt, love, loss, pain, and fear. I also know what it’s like to rebuild myself and have success again. Everyone experiences a range of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and situations that shape and mold us. Therefore, working with people, in their time of need motivates me to assist them in finding balance in their lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start off with brief introductions, then we will begin to identify the reasons you decided to take on the challenge of participating in therapy. Remember, if therapy was easy, then everyone would do it! Therefore, I thank you advance for allowing me to be apart of your journey in discovering the best version of yourself and/or your relationship!
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I have a versatile and eclectic skill set developed through years of experience working with people from all walks of life. I have been trained in DBT, CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Multi-Systemic Therapy, and I have working knowledge of other therapeutic orientations and interventions as well. Regardless of the therapeutic orientation you are the EXPERT in YOUR life! Therefore, I am here to assist, facilitate, and guide you toward the life you desire. We all share in the HUMAN EXPERIENCE and I am grateful that you have allowed me to be a part of your story.
