LMFT, 5 years of experience
Hello, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 7 years of experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. I have provided therapeutic services for adhd, anxiety, depression, couples counseling, family conflict, grief, and trauma. I focus on healing, challenging negative thoughts, and establishing new healthy perceptions. I look forward to meeting with you on GROW!
In our first session, we will start with introductions and discuss your expectations of therapy. We will also discuss what brings you to therapy and will collaborate on a plan that will bring your goals to life.
My strengths as a provider are; my experience of working with individual of all ages, my strong ability to relate to others, my ability to provide unconditional positive regard, great listening skills, and empathy.
I love working with individuals who although may find themselves stuck, they truly desire to change.
I will incorporate ACT therapy interventions when you are in need to focus on accepting life experiences as they come. With the help of mindfulness exercises you can learn to build a new and more compassionate relationship with difficult experiences. Doing this can free you from obsessive negative thinking so you can have peace of mind and healing.
I will introduce to you CBT interventions to assist you with challenging your negative thoughts and changing your perceptions for the better. This modality is helpful for individuals who deal with depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.
Grief is inevitable and many people shy away from the impact is has in our lives. We will talk about all things grief and I will help you learn how to invite grief into your space for healing.
I have experience utilizing Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy interventions to address the mental health needs of children, adolescents, and families suffering from the destructive effects of early trauma. The treatment is particularly sensitive to the unique problems of youth with post-traumatic stress and mood disorders resulting from sexual abuse, as well as from physical abuse, violence, or grief. Through TF-CBT non-offending parents or other caregivers are often brought into treatment to be apart of the healing process.
I will incorporate trauma informed care interventions to assist you with identifying, navigating, and processing your trauma for healing.
