I am a firm believer that we are put here on earth to help one another grow, and change with the ultimate objective to live a more fulfilled life and love each other more. The challenge is always the peaks and valleys of life that bring us severe emotional pain. I have had the privilege and honor to be professionally trained in a wide variety of therapeutic modalities to move clients toward better mental health. I do believe that there is not one way to get mentally healthy but rather a combination of personal choice and a new approach to life’s challenges that creates permanent change. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist my main focus will be the systems within your life that are not working or functioning correctly and changing them. I have shown success in working with patients who struggle with: Grief/Loss Narcissistic Abuse Trauma/Abuse Depression/Anxiety/Stress Blended Family Issues Parenting for Children with Disabilities Marriage Counseling Professional experience 10+YRS IN PRACTICE
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I think you will find my approach warm, lighthearted, inviting, non-threatening and filled with humor. I am knowledgeable and serious about moving you toward a more fulfilling life with the hope you gain new life skills and emotional stability. I encourage my clients to have patience with themselves and the healing process. Learned dysfunctional patterns and nonproductive behavior responses are often embedded in our families during childhood and will take time to unlearn. I am up for the challenge if you are.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My primary approaches are Narrative Family Therapy, CBT/DBT and Solution Focused Therapy but feel confident in using any data-driven approach that works for my client.
