I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT), and I have worked with clients with a wide variety of concerns including schizophrenia, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship problems, and trauma (physical, emotional, sexual). I also have extensive experience working with people involved in the criminal justice system. Reaching out for support is the start of achieving your goals and enjoying a more fulfilled life. I recognize that starting therapy can be a scary process and opening up to someone you don't know can be uncomfortable. This process will open the door for therapeutic healing and success in achieving your treatment goals. I look forward to working with you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I want to know about you. I will be asking a variety of questions so that I am able to get a clinical picture of your history and goals that you wish to achieve.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I provide a safe and therapeutic environment that will promote growth, positivity, and healing. I also provide a judgement free, yet challenging space that will facilitate comfort and self-awareness as you progress. My therapeutic style is adaptive to the individual needs of my clients; it is also exploratory and collaborative. I aim to meet you where you are at and collaborate with you to find the most appropriate avenue for progress. I may use a combination of different modalities to fit your specific needs, but I tend to use a lot of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Strength Based Therapy.
