Welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship/ family conflicts, parenting issues/postpartum, life transitions, eating concerns/body image, and low self-esteem. Therapy is a safe space to explore, process, and understand your feelings. In addition to creating a safe space to understand your emotions, I may pull from different therapeutic approaches to tailor a treatment that correlates to your goals. For example, I may incorporate mindfulness practices and/or cognitive behavioral therapy (addressing negative thoughts). We can explore your childhood and your family's history, which may have left an emotional imprint. Or we can explore practical solutions for immediate relief.
In our first session, we will explore your goals in therapy and discuss a treatment plan on how we can get there.
My strengths as a therapist include holding deep empathy and understanding of your experiences, challenging destructive thoughts and behaviors, exploring practical solutions, and trusting in each person's innate self-knowledge and intelligence.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change negative thought patterns and destructive behaviors!
I may incorporate mindfulness practices to decrease intense and overwhelming emotions.
We may explore early childhood experiences and how these are impacting your present day-to-day life.
We will explore your areas for growth and strengths, understand your feelings, and explore how to rebuild confidence.
