LMFT, 15 years of experience
I am a mom, bonus mom and wife with 15 years experience providing therapy as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I am a dedicated therapist passionate about providing access to quality mental health care. I specialize in working with diverse individuals and family dynamics, fostering a compassionate and accepting environment. My approach is rooted in authenticity, as I believe in the power of genuine connection to promote healing and growth. I am committed to supporting each client on their unique journey towards mental wellness.
In our first session together, I will gather details to better understand what you want to work on and decide what goals you would like to focus on in therapy. We will also start working on establishing rapport that helps with creating a safe space to process your emotions and experiences.
In therapy, I emphasize a direct and empowering style that encourages clients to engage deeply with their experiences. I create a warm and genuine space where open-mindedness is key, allowing for honest exploration of thoughts and feelings. While I affirm each client’s unique journey, I also challenge them to push past barriers and embrace growth. Together, we work towards meaningful change, fostering resilience and self-discovery along the way.
Are you experiencing emotional distress due to past and or present life experiences that is difficult to manage and is impacting your life? If you answered YES and you are HIGHLY MOTIVATED to make positive active change to transition to living a healthy life, you are the type of client I desire to work with.
In my experience using the CBT model in therapy, I work closely with individuals to help them identify and challenge negative thoughts patterns that contribute to their experienced emotional distress. I guide them through restructuring their thoughts with learning how to reframe unhelpful thoughts and use effective skills to address maladaptive behaviors.
