LMFT, 25 years of experience
Hi, I am a licensed marriage and therapist with 25 years of clinical background. During those two decades I have helped clients overcome barriers in their personal lives and relationships to live authentically . I provide safety, hope, understanding, and a way forward when dealing with clients' challenges and relationships. I advocate a philosophy of acceptance, compassion, empathy, and a respectful, non-judgmental style with all my clients. Through open and honest conversations my clients gain insight into their thoughts patterns, emotions, and past experiences that may have contributed to their problems. To experience, and be with another human being through the process of struggle, change, and healing is the greatest reward for me as a therapist.
It takes a lot of courage and determination to make the first step toward getting into therapy. It is a powerful act that can lead to significant positive changes. You are on your way to healing the concerns, and issues that have been weighing on you. In the first session, I focus on gathering information about your reason for seeking therapy, and your current challenges and goals. We will work together to bridge the gap between where you are now, and the most authentic empowered version of yourself.
I bring a compassionate, holistic, and non-judgmental approach to therapy drawing from my rich clinical experiences. I create a safe space where you can explore what's been getting in the way of feeling your best. Together we'll build on your strengths to identify practical evidence-based tools to support your growth and well-being.
I help my clients get the tools to create a healthy balance in daily life and relationships. I specialize in the treatment of Addiction Recovery, Anxiety, Depression, Emotional Trauma, Work-related and career stressors, life transitions, coping skills, low self-esteem , and personal growth.
My approach is client centered focusing on evidence based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I collaboratively work with my clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns that are contributing to their difficulties.
I use a holistic approach and look at the whole person rather than just a single area of a person's life. By emphasizing clients' skills and positive characteristics, I encourage them to gain a more empowering perspective to heal and find personal fulfillment.
Each client is unique so I integrate various techniques and theories to create a personalized treatment plan for each client.
