LMFT, 20 years of experience
I will assist you in changing how you feel about your relationships, your life circumstances, and yourself by discovering how to manage your thoughts more successfully. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been practicing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for over 20 years in a wide variety of settings throughout North America and Europe. My specialties include Couples Counseling, Anxiety, Depression, and Addictions. I also have over 25 years of experience working with those experiencing emotional or behavioral issues including anxiety and depression, anger and trauma, and military and LGBT issues. I maintain active licensure in the states of California, Florida, Michigan, and Texas.
Your first session will be different from future visits. The initial visit is a period for you and your therapist to get to know each other and get an idea of how to proceed. Future visits will be more therapeutic in nature.
I have a wide range of experience with different populations in different settings. My most recent has been working with military families, LGBTQ, and alcohol/drug use and other addictions.
My areas of focus include couples counseling and addictions. I also have over 25 years of experience working with individuals who are experiencing emotional or behavioral issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, trauma, as well as military, relationships and LGBTQIA+ issues.
I will help you create new ways of thinking to improve your mood, your relationships, and your life circumstances.
I will help you focus on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions with the aim to increase psychological flexibility, and help you make choices aligned with your values and goals despite internal experiences.
SFBT is future-focused, goal-directed, and focuses on solutions, rather than on problems.
