In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing by completing an initial biopsychosocial assessment. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

During my 16+ years of experience in the mental health field, I am a firm believer that life can be intricately impacted by a person's thought process. A person's thought pattern, can impact their belief system and their belief system directly impacts their actions/behaviors. In therapy, I utilize the CBT therapeutic approach to assist clients to gain insight into the relationship between their thoughts and their behaviors/decision-making process, thus if there are maladaptive thought patterns, an individual can work towards changing that thought pattern to change their actions/behaviors.
For various individuals, their faith is an intricate aspect of their strength, their compass in their lives and their source of solace in difficulties. For individuals seeking to incorporate their spiritual beliefs in their journey towards healing and wholeness, I will facilitate sessions incorporating spirituality (i.e., biblical principles) in the treatment process to aid clients in obtaining wholeness mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
I utilize the Gottman Method in Couples Sessions to assist couples to address barriers in communication, increase intimacy, respect, affection, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.
