LMFT, 9 years of experience
Are you a parent, caregiver, adult, teen, or child that you frequently find yourself anxious, angry, sad, or easily triggered. Discover and build the tools needed to deal with daily and post-trauma stressors. Become more resilient when confronted with life's difficulties. Reduce or eliminate distorted thoughts or harmful behaviors that interfere with you being your authentic self. I am here to help you accept your current and past experiences and build a future with tools for guidance.
We are all always nervous about new things specially talking to a stranger about your most vulnerable things. As your therapist during our first session I help you feel comfortable sharing your unique story. I normalize and valid your feelings. In the end I praise you for your first step to a better you and develop a plan that is best for you.
Therapy along with treatment models Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) can help you find more meaning in your relationships, become more productive with your work, create a space for self-care, and find enjoyment in your life with those you love. I like CBT because it emphasizes what is going on in your current life, rather than what has led up to your difficulties. TF-CBT because it’s short-term and generally lasts no more than 16 sessions and CPP because it helps support and strengthen the relations between a child and his or her caregiver.
My client-based and empathetic approach helps support your way of making sense of present and past struggles, trauma, and unhealed wounds. I have experience helping clients with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, ADHD, Anger Management, Loss and Grief, Self-Esteem, Relational Difficulties, Family Conflict, and Parenting Challenges.
As your therapist, I am passionate about my role in helping children, teens, and parents find peace and healthy coping to manage challenging feelings. From my 9 year experience providing therapy to Birth-50, I believe that children, individuals, parents, and families need to learn the skills and tools to love, accept and trust themselves in the process of an intervention. As much as kids can grow and thrive from early intervention it is never too late for an adult, parent or caregiver to seek therapy to learn about their emotions and better handle challenging situations with kids. I invite you to explore your thoughts and feelings and assist you in finding your authentic self. My goal is to support my clients in growing a healthy and trusting relationship with themselves.
