As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate through life's challenges and improve their relationships. Using evidence-based techniques and a compassionate approach, I work collaboratively with clients to foster understanding, communication, and resilience. My goal is to empower clients to overcome obstacles, enhance their emotional well-being, and cultivate healthier, more fulfilling connections with themselves and others. I utilize evidence-based approaches tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. I believe in fostering a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel empowered to explore their trauma, process their emotions, and develop effective coping strategies.
Whether you are seeking support for individual growth, navigating relationship challenges, or addressing family conflicts, I am here to provide compassionate guidance, effective interventions, and a safe therapeutic space where healing and transformation can occur.
Overall, my greatest strengths as an LMFT lie in my relational focus, empathy, collaborative approach, cultural competence, flexibility, and resilience-oriented mindset. I am dedicated to supporting my clients in their journey towards healing, restoration, growth, and well-being.
I am uniquely equipped to serve a diverse range of clients, including individuals, couples, and families facing various challenges in their lives and relationships. My specialized training and expertise in systemic therapy allow me to address not only individual issues but also the dynamics and interconnectedness within relationships and family systems. I am particularly well-suited to serve clients who are navigating relational difficulties, whether in intimate partnerships, familial relationships, or parent-child dynamics. This may include couples experiencing communication breakdowns, conflicts, or intimacy issues, as well as families grappling with transitions, conflicts, or blended family dynamics. Furthermore, I have a deep understanding of how past experiences, traumas, and attachment patterns can impact present-day relationships and functioning. Clients struggling with unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or childhood adversities can benefit from my trauma-informed approach, which emphasizes safety, validation, and healing. Additionally, I am attuned to the unique needs of marginalized populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals and families, ethnic and cultural minorities, and individuals from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. I strive to create a culturally sensitive and affirming space where clients feel understood, respected, and valued.
I am dedicated to empowering my clients to overcome obstacles, cultivate self-compassion, and live more fulfilling lives. Through Brainspotting, trauma can be uprooted and geared to help with becoming free.
Incorporating attachment theory into my practice, I recognize the profound impact of early relationships on our sense of self and our interactions with others. I work collaboratively with clients to explore attachment patterns, heal relational wounds, and cultivate secure and fulfilling connections.
Through CBT techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and exposure therapy, I help clients develop practical skills to manage symptoms, regain a sense of control, and improve overall well-being. Together, we work towards building resilience, increasing self-awareness, and fostering long-lasting positive change.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I work closely with my clients to understand their unique experiences and challenges, providing a safe and supportive environment for exploration and growth.
Gestalt therapy emphasizes the importance of present-moment awareness, exploring the here and now to uncover underlying patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through experiential techniques and dialogue, I support clients in gaining insight into their internal experiences and developing a greater sense of wholeness and authenticity.
