Hi there, welcome to my practice. I invite you to journey with me in the collaborative process of becoming the best version of yourself. Together we can explore and identify your goals for therapy. We will use a holistic approach using our body, mind, and spirit in a safe and compassionate space to grow and get back to peace and balance. I use an integrative approach which draws on several therapeutic orientations. I take the entire person, community, family, socio-economic and cultural aspects that all have an influence on your life circumstances. I then work with you to identify your strengths and build confidence to take on the challenge of change. I have enjoyed 36 years of clinical practice in a variety of settings, and a wide spectrum of ages and cultures, I truly enjoy people and I am certain that I can find a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs. Seeking therapy can be scary at first but you are courageous. Whatever your unique situation may be, I look forward to working with you to work on your goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect me to listen to their concerns with empathy, compassion and nonjudgement.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My training is from a structural and systemic perspective, which means I seek to make sense of the world through relationships, focusing on the whole family system rather than the individual. I often involve the family, especially with children and adolescents, at least in my initial assessment. I use a variety of interventions; mindfulness techniques to increase self-awareness, Cognitive reprogramming to reduce negative thoughts, Tapping to reduce anxiety, and behavioral techniques to transform patterns just to name a few.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My best strengths is being “down to earth” and a good listener. My clients feel very comfortable with me and enjoy my sense of humor. I enjoy empowering children, adolescents and adults with positivity and joy. My love of life is evident in my approach and interest in getting to know you.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I have no expectations for clients if they want help and are willing to explore possibilities. I help clients to see their strengths and build from there.
