I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which means I have been trained to work with systems.
I work to help people learn how to create positive bonds with one another, improve communication, build their self confidence and provide hope of a life filled with happiness, all you have to do is decide to make a choice to call to schedule a session.
First session
During the first session, we will get to know each other. I will ask questions to better understand what led you to seek therapy and review any assessments you completed beforehand. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I welcome another person in the session if that would make you feel more comfortable or if you are seeking couples or family therapy. I will also explain the limits of confidentiality and review my availability to ensure my schedule meets your needs.
Strengths
My therapeutic approach centers on actively listening to each client and creating a treatment plan tailored to that client’s symptoms, goals, and desired outcomes. I use a variety of therapeutic methods to support progress and help clients work toward meaningful change, typically within three to six months. I also value flexibility and maintain open communication so clients can easily adjust scheduled appointments or arrange additional sessions when needed.
Ideal clients
I work with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating a range of emotional, relational, and parenting challenges. • Anxiety and depression • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) • Parenting concerns • School-related difficulties affecting children Common goals may include reducing anxiety or depression, strengthening parenting skills, and creating structure and routines at home. For some families, these changes can also make it easier to find time for connection and self-care, such as enjoying a date night.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for the last eight years. This type of therapy works well for individuals who have problems with anxiety and depression. It helps them reframe their thoughts and feelings.
Couples Counseling
I have provided couples counseling for the past eight years. In this work, I focus on strengthening communication, exploring love languages, and addressing other areas that are important to each relationship’s growth and well-being.
Child-Parent Psychotherapy
I use Multisystemic Therapy to help parents build practical parenting skills that support a safe, structured, and secure home environment. This work may include helping parents create consistent routines, strengthen problem-solving strategies, and support their children in developing emotional regulation skills.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
In Emotionally Focused Therapy, I help individuals, couples, and families explore emotional experiences and relationship patterns in a supportive, structured way.
Grief Therapy
I help individuals who are struggling with the loss of a loved one or a pet. I provide compassionate support by listening carefully to their emotions and the challenges they are facing after the loss. I also help clients understand the difference between grief and mourning as they move through the healing process.
