As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), my objective is to provide quality therapeutic services to individuals, couples, and families. With a strong foundation in evidence-based practices, I strive to foster a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, challenges, and goals. I work diligently to understand each individual's unique needs and circumstances. By utilizing various therapeutic modalities and techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and family systems theory, I aim to facilitate personal growth, improve interpersonal relationships, and enhance overall well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I draw upon a range of established treatment methods and tools, primarily focusing on evidence-based practices. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which explores the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, empowering clients to modify unhelpful patterns and cultivate healthier responses. Additionally, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which enhances emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. For individuals who have experienced trauma, I utilize Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a specialized approach designed to foster healing and resilience.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
By integrating these evidence-based modalities, I aim to provide clients with a comprehensive and tailored therapeutic experience. Each technique is carefully selected based on the client's specific needs and goals, fostering meaningful progress and lasting change.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I embrace cultural diversity and recognize the significance of cultural factors in shaping individuals' lives and relationships. By integrating cultural competence into my practice, I aim to create a therapeutic space that is inclusive and affirming for all clients.
