LMFT, 19 years of experience
Hello. I am here with 19 years of experience balanced with cultural competence and sensitivity to varied backgrounds, including socioeconomic status, ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, and gender identity. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my training is rooted in psychotherapy and family systems theory. My approach is with an emphasis on valuing and utilizing the client's own expertise and understanding of their life circumstances, prioritizing individualized care, and recognizing that no single therapeutic modality fits every client or every challenge.
For the first time we meet...introductions and lots of questions, and lots more questions but with good reason. I want to get a general idea about why you are seeking support, this support and why now. I chose to call this support, instead of therapy, because it's support for whatever challenge or question you are trying to find a solution for. This first session will also allow for us to see if we connect, are we a good match? If so, then, we will also decide on frequency for our time together and a general idea of what the focus of this dedicated time will be.
I am humbled to be invited on this journey alongside you. I connect, I see you as you are and invite you to see and believe you are imperfectly perfect with boundless potential.
All clients are ideal...anyone seeking support, wanting support and acknowledging they need support is an ideal client.
My approach is prioritizing individualized care, recognizing that no single therapeutic modality fits every client or every challenge. This approach offers clients a limitless and assorted toolkit of strategies, techniques and theories that allow for facilitating invitation to growth and possibilities.
