LCSW, 11 years of experience
In life we have peaks and valleys. For some, we find the valleys are the times we may feel most alone. I specialize in helping clients to feel less alone and much more empowered and to find clarity. In our aspirations to find love, peace and happiness we develop healthier relationships with self first and with others. In my practice I walk along side my clients on this journey of self fulfillment with a non judgmental and compassionate stance. My initial goal is to actively listen as client expresses what is most important to them and offer compassion and most importantly be sure the client is seen and heard while developing a genuine and authentic rapport.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. I emphasize confidentiality is always protected. Client will share their story and experiences. We will then collaborate and develop goals and treatment plan to begin preparing for therapy in follow up sessions.
I offer empathy, non judgmental attitude and professionalism. My therapeutic approach is flexible and adaptable to the client's needs with evidence based modalities. I partner with the client in developing a consistent and acceptable treatment plan and goals.
An ideal client is someone with a specific goal or issue and are motivated to engage in therapy for regular sessions. Someone open to new ideas and perspectives. The client is encouraged to offer feedback, willing to actively participate by challenging themselves to work on developing skills in and outside of session.
Our thoughts and perceptions influence the way we feel and behave. I use CBT to help clients identify patterns and develop skills to feel better, make better decisions and live a more fulfilling life by integrating healthier ways of being with self and others.
ACT therapy allows to listen to your own self talk about life situations and traumas. Accepting and acknowledging your thoughts and emotions rather than avoiding them. This will also assist in making behavioral changes to modify what hasn't worked for you in the past. Ultimately, developing skills to practice confident and productive behaviors that align with your personal goals and values.
We will focus on improving relationship patterns while understanding attachment to improve emotional connection in couples to transform negative patterns.
In this modality we explore skills to regulate emotions, develop interpersonal effectiveness skills and distress tolerance with mindfulness practices.

I’ve seen therapist since 2000 and this it the first time I’ve felt hopeful about my progress. She listen, asked additional questions and then gave productive feedback. Never did I fell like I was being judged for feeling the way I felt. She let me know that my feelings were valid and gave me some alternative ways to look at situations.
