I believe that everyone should have a safe and healing place to work through life’s challenges and create positive change in their lives. As a licensed LMFT therapist, I support clients towards their self-discovery process through the transformative power of psychotherapy to create meaningful changes in life, empower unique gifts and purpose, and enhance mental and emotional well-being. I believe that each of us possesses an internal source of insight and wisdom that can be cultivated through therapy. My approach is warm, relational, strengths-based and trauma-informed. I work from a place of compassion, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. Whether you are looking for guidance, improved relationships, insight, or to develop healthy coping strategies, you can make meaningful changes in your life one step at a time. So I encourage you to take time for yourself to nurture your mental and emotional well-being, activating your innate ability to cultivate a more fulfilling and balanced life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our initial sessions, we will focus on exploring the reasons for seeking therapy, identify presenting problems, explore what your objectives are, and establish your treatment goals. Throughout our evolving sessions, we will explore in collaboration the best strategies and coping tools to help you achieve your unique goals and make meaningful changes in your life. You can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can freely express your feelings and thoughts and feel empowered to be honest with yourself from a place of self-discovery. My goal is to help you address the root of the issue and gain insight which has the potential to support you in achieving a deeper level of healing. Together, we will explore your strengths and challenges, identify any limiting beliefs, and cultivate new perspectives. I will be here to support you in the process of self-discovery and alignment with your inner potential.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths are listening, providing validation, understanding, and cultivating empowerment for individuals in a safe therapeutic space. My commitment is to support you alongside your journey of self-discovery towards healing and growth. In my free time I enjoy hiking, beach trips, traveling, and spending time with friends, family, and pets. Note: I provide superbills for out-of-network clients.
