I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience providing impactful, intelligent, and compassionate therapy. I utilize a collaborative and engaging style to create a space for therapy to become an expansion of how clients perceive their struggles in a broader view. I endeavor to have therapy as a safe and supportive experience; I also balance this with the challenge of an invitation to stretch into personal change and growth.
The very first session is reserved for intake process which includes going over process of therapy, gathering history of presenting problem what to expect from therapy, informed consent, and setting therapeutic goals.
Emphasizing the collaborative relationship that builds in therapy, and the internal process of all of my clients, I am able to tap into what clients need for their healing. One of the most common types of feedback I receive is "that's a really good question," and "I do feel a lot better from the sessions." When we think and feel differently about our issues, we often naturally just feel much better about ourselves, and things start to shift.
