LMFT, 4 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I am passionate about working with parents to create generational healing. I believe that the relationship we have with ourself has the power to transform our lives for the better, and increase the quality of our relationships with others. I emphasize both in therapy. I approach therapy with a humanistic, client-centered, holistic and goal-oriented lens, focusing on reconnecting back to the self.
Our first session will be about getting to know each other better, introductions to expectations on both ends, and creating a plan for what therapy will look like moving forward. I always leave an option at the end of session to choose if you feel we are a good fit because I believe that finding the right therapist is crucial for therapy to work.
Working through my own patterns and behaviors in therapy helped me to realize that I did not have to stay in a lifestyle or mentality just because it was how I was raised or the only way I was shown. This personal experience inspires me daily to help others also discover the barriers and obstacles holding them back from the life they truly desire to live.
I work with parents who are struggling to adjust to the many changes that come along with parenting either being first time parents, second, or even third. It can be a struggle holding onto who you are while navigating new pressures, expectations, and pressures. I work with parents together and/or mothers and fathers individually to create their ideal role and relationship in their family dynamic. My goal to normalize the struggles that are common in our most valuable relationships and help people see that they are not alone. I do so by providing a safe, compassionate space for clients to express vulnerability with their partner(s) or about their struggles with parenthood, and discover what they truly want out of their relationships.
Utilizing CBT to identify thought and behavior patterns helps to figure out where we can take back the control and patterns that we feel out of touch with and keep us in survival mode. Beginning to understand our natural responses and choosing to make changes can bring down barriers for most people to begin living a life with better quality and reduce stress and/or anxiety.
Meeting clients where they are is a priority. I approach every situation with a new perspective and leave no room for judgement within sessions.
