LMFT, 14 years of experience
Hello! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist located in California, where I am committed to helping individuals enhance their overall well-being. My experience working with adolescents and adults has deepened my passion for guiding clients through a wide range of challenges. I believe that each person’s journey is unique, and I strive to create a supportive environment where we can explore what's important to you. Together, we work towards finding effective and lasting solutions that foster personal growth and improved relationships. I am here to provide the tools and strategies necessary for navigating life’s complexities, and I look forward to being a part of your journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Many people feel nervous before their first appointment, wondering what their therapist will ask, or what they should tell their therapist. During the initial appointment, we will usually discuss why you made the appointment, what you have already done to try and solve the problem, and what you hope to accomplish in therapy. We may talk about how things are going in the important parts of your life (i.e. relationships, work, school) as well as information about your background. We can then begin developing goals for therapy.
I am deeply passionate about assisting individuals achieve their goals and overcome struggles. I firmly believe that each person possesses unique strengths, and by using these strengths, we can better navigate the challenges we encounter. I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs, goals, and preferences of each client. My ultimate objective is to create a safe and trusting environment where clients feel genuinely heard and understood.
I specialize in the areas of men's issues, sex addiction, Christian counseling, ADHD, and issues related to self-worth and self-esteem.
As a mental health therapist, I am able to utilize Christian counseling to provide a faith-based perspective on mental health challenges. This approach combines biblical principles with therapeutic techniques, allowing us to explore struggles holistically—encompassing emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects while remaining aligned with your faith.
By combining techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, a holistic approach that addresses various aspects of mental health is created. During our sessions, we’ll assess your specific challenges and goals, allowing us to use the most effective methods. This flexibility will help you develop practical coping strategies, enhance emotional regulation, and build resilience. My aim is to empower you to achieve meaningful change and improve your overall well-being through a personalized therapeutic experience.
