Hello. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have worked in a variety of settings, including, but not limited to, child(ren) residential facilities, Forensic mandated services, school mental health, and community mental health awareness. I offer an eclectic, customized model of treatment to meet the needs of clients and their families. There is a concierge service available upon request for certain circumstances. (ie: Recovering from physical or TBI traumas and the home setting is more suitable to provide comfort for the client).
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We will typically exchange a little background information, clients are asked to share some recent factors about what led them to begin therapy, now.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
The greatest strength as a provider that I have is the ab8lity to empathize and comfort with others even with uncomfortable or difficult topics. The ability to raise self-awareness and convey effects of childhood traumas and their impact on the adult life and relationships. To explore the impact that transgenerational traumas have on youths to middle-aged adults.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I believe that change is available to all who seek and remain receptive to change. I provide genuine services to clients experiencing high anxiety, family conflicts, substance misuse, sexual addictions, and life's transitions. I am very transparent and only require honesty and transparency during our sessions. If you find it difficult to engage, please be honest about that. Clients that are best served by my expertise are those most misunderstood by others.
