I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist working with individuals, couples, and families. I work collaboratively with clients of all ages to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and of their problems. I provide a space to identify, analyze, and challenge any negative patterns that impact your life. I help clients to challenge limiting beliefs that may be holding them back from being their most authentic self.
In the first session, we will discuss what lead you to seek out therapy, but also much more. In order to develop a full picture and begin to identify patterns, we will also review life history and significant past events.
I take a collaborative stance, allowing the client to be the expert on their own life, and combine this with my expertise in mental health to create the best outcomes for each individual client. I create a positive environment to explore, understand, and create lasting change.
I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy with my clients to help them identify, explore, and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. Together, we work on developing practical coping strategies and reframe distorted thinking to promote healthier behaviors, thoughts, and relationships. .
In couples counseling, I aim to assist couples in improving communication, connection, and awareness. I help couples learn how to listen and respond in ways that are meaningful to each other and maintain honor and respect within the relationship.
In working with families, I help family members heal past relational injuries, improve communication, and increase empathy and understanding.
