With 39 years of experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. have a deep understanding of human behavior, emotions, and relationships. My long tenure has allowed me learn a wide range of therapeutic approaches and I integrate many of them into my therapy today. I value psycho-education so ask me anything and I'll answer as best I can.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your first session with me will be a meet and greet and also your intake. I will ask you many questions about your personal history so I can develop a deeper understanding of you as a person. We often talk about the therapeutic modalities I use and what you may expect as a result of working with me. We will talk about your specific goals for therapy and overtime we will develop a plan to help you meet your goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am warm and funny. I'm a very good listener and I believe my clients feel seen and heard by me. I hold space for their pain and I am attuned to their suffering and their triumphs. I meet their needs as best I can. I'm open and I invite feedback and questions and complaints.

Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a therapy that helps process trauma and emotional pain by focusing on specific points in the visual field linked to intense feelings. This approach allows the brain to release stored tension and trauma, aiding in healing from issues like PTSD, anxiety, and unresolved trauma. I am well trained and have been using Brainspotting in my practice with all my client. Underlying trauma must be healed before true change takes place.

Compassion Focused
Self-compassion therapy helps individuals develop a kinder, more supportive attitude toward themselves, especially during difficult times. It focuses on three key elements: Self-Kindness: Treating oneself with care rather than harsh criticism. Common Humanity: Recognizing that suffering is a part of the human experience, not something to feel isolated about. Mindfulness: Observing difficult emotions without judgment, allowing for a balanced response. The therapy reduces anxiety, depression, and self-criticism, while promoting emotional resilience, self-worth, and well-being. Techniques include self-compassion breaks, loving-kindness meditation, journaling, and cognitive reframing. It’s particularly useful for individuals struggling with perfectionism or chronic self-criticism. I integrate Self-Compassion Therapy with all the work I do.
