LMFT, 9 years of experience
HI! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California. I have been practicing in a variety of settings involving mental health for the past 20 plus years and have a lot of experience working with minority adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, familial conflict, and stress management. My current clients have shown improvement with consistency in treatment at managing their thoughts and behaviors; which has impacted their relationships and life perspective overall.
In our first session together we will focus on getting to know one another and exploring expectations for therapy. We will also learn more about your personal goals for yourself and how we can implement some practices together to achieve those goals.
Having worked with adolescents and their families from different walks of life over the past 20 years in different capacities I have learned that the best thing I can do for a client is to be transparent and direct in the process of helping clients navigate root causes of possible challenges and behaviors. I will help and ensure that clients can stay on track with their personal plan to achieving symptom relief and goals.
I enjoy working with individuals who are open minded and willing to put in the hard work. My clients are hopeful and eager for self improvement, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stressed, overwhelmed, stuck and anxious about their individual lives.
In my practice, I may use CBT techniques to help individuals identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns, manage stress, cope with difficult emotions, or develop more effective problem-solving skills. I can offer support and guidance in practicing these techniques, and I can provide personalized feedback to help individuals track their progress.
In my practice, I can use psychodynamic techniques to help individuals explore and understand the underlying factors that may be contributing to their current challenges. I can provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions, and I can offer guidance in gaining insight into their unconscious processes. While psychodynamic therapy is often associated with longer-term treatment, I can adapt these techniques to provide support and insight in a shorter-term setting, depending on the individual's needs and preferences.

I enjoy every moment of having a therapist that is able to listen to me and My Thoughts for my every day life as a father. Mrs.Taylor is a very thoughtful woman and is very understanding about my situation as I learn to use the tools from my therapy sessions with her. Thank you so very much!
