LMFT, 30 years of experience
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Addiction Counselor. I have over 30 years' experience I assist adults of all ages (18 and beyond using a collaborative process. We can work together to heal past and present conflict, emotional disturbances, and learn new coping strategies. My goal is support you in living your best life.
We will spend the first session getting to know each other. We will discuss what brought you to seek therapy at this time in your life and create a plan on how to move forward in meeting your goals.
As a therapist for 30+ years I have become more and more compassionate towards my clients. I have an understanding of what it's like to struggle with finding peace and healing. I have gained a wealth of effective therapeutic skills to support you on your journey to living your best life.
I love working with folks who are motivated for change and healing. I work with people from all walks of life. I feel called to work with LGBTQ+ folks as a way of giving back to my community for all the support I received when I needed it most.
I utilize EMDR to helps you heal from emotional distress and disturbing life experiences.
CBT is useful in helping to learn how to manage stressful situations. It is also an effective way to change negative thought patterns that disrupt your ability to find joy and satisfaction in your life.
Imago Relationship Therapy helps couples transform conflict into healing and growth through relational connection.
Positive Psychology is used to help you learn to thrive in life by focusing on positive qualities, such as well-being, happiness, and satisfaction. It also studies how to build a life of purpose and meaning.
IFS is a great adjunct to most other clinical modalities to help bring a deeper understanding into who you are. This aids in facilitating healing from past hurts.
