Hi! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional and psychological well-being. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing, and I am dedicated to providing a supportive and empathetic environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
In your first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and understanding your current concerns. I'll ask about your background, your symptoms, and any specific issues you're facing. This initial assessment helps me understand your unique situation and allows us to start setting goals for therapy. You can also ask any questions you have about the therapy process. This session is a safe space for you to share your story and begin your journey towards healing. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, non-judgmental space where you can speak freely. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship, as I believe trust is key to effective therapy. My goal is to empower you to make meaningful changes in your life and develop a greater sense of self-awareness.
Together, we will examine how to overcome obstacles in your life. I have over 20 years’ experience in the social services and mental health field. I realize that no two people are the same and as such tailor my therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. I have a passion and purpose to be of meaningful service to others. I combine my education, professional and real-world experience to provide gentle, honest, and insightful care within a compassionate, strength-based, client-centered spiritual approach.
I enjoy working with individuals navigating life transitions such as career shifts, relationship changes, or moving to a new location, and who need support in adapting to new circumstances. My clients experiencing Anxiety or Depression will learn tools and strategies to manage their symptoms and find balance in their daily lives. Individuals struggling with trauma will experience a safe space to process their feelings and work towards healing. My clients seeking relationship guidance will learn to improve communication, resolve conflicts, or enhance intimacy in their relationships. Individuals interested in personal growth will explore their inner thoughts, gain self-awareness, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. I aim to create a supportive, empathetic environment where each client feels heard and empowered to work toward their goals. Let’s identify the underlying concerns that derailed you from living in your purpose. You will feel heard, supported and self empowered to follow your own purpose.
