LMFT, 15 years of experience
My focus at the outset of therapy and throughout is to provide you an open, supportive, and encouraging environment. I strive to create a safe and welcoming therapeutic setting for you to begin to process and heal. I belief that the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance for the therapeutic journey to be effective. For this reason, building strong and collaborative trusting relationships with you is essential. It is my view that every individual is unique and arrives in therapy with their own unique strengths. I seek to empower you to identify and utilize your strengths to create meaningful change.
In your first session, we will have a brief introduction and review your intake which will provide a better understanding of your needs coming into therapy. I will develop a treatment plan in which will provide guidance and solutions as you continue therapy.
With having 15 plus years of experience, it is important to provide a trusting and empathetic therapeutic environment to build a positive therapeutic relationship. We will explore together strategies to help you through your concerns. You will be able to develop a coping skill toolbox to manage your symptoms and any future issues that may arise.
I genuinely enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds, including individual- adolescents and adults, couples, and families. Joining you on your therapeutic journey and witnessing your growth drives me to continue to dedicate my career by helping others. I look forward to being able to work together to help you achieve your goals. In my practice, I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, ACT, Gottman Approach and EMDR. I integrate mindfulness and mindfulness techniques to be empathetic and understanding to yourself in the present moment. I am EMDR trained. However, I aim to tailor my interventions to my client's individual needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach is a evidence based modality in which negative patterns of thought about the self and the world are challenged in order to alter unwanted behavior patterns or treat mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.
Solution Focused Brief therapy is based on the idea that people have the resources to solve their problems, and that focusing on solutions is more effective than analyzing problems
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that helps people process traumatic memories. It's based on the idea that traumatic memories can become stuck in the brain, causing emotional distress.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy focuses to help individuals develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, and to cultivate non-judgmental acceptance of these experiences.
The goals of the Gottman Method include increasing closeness and friendship behaviors, addressing conflict productively, and building a life of shared meaning together. The Gottman Method involves customizing principles from the research to each couple's particular patterns and challenges,
