You might be navigating difficult life transitions and feeling overwhelmed by it. As a therapist deeply committed to your well-being, I understand that seeking help can be daunting. In my practice, you’ll find a heartfelt space where we can explore life's challenges together, from coping with depression and anxiety to healing from trauma or working towards self-acceptance. My passion for therapy stems from my personal and professional experiences and the belief that everyone deserves a chance to heal and grow. By cultivating a compassionate mindset, we can embark on a journey towards not just recovery, but profound self-discovery.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our initial session, we'll begin by creating a welcoming and confidential space where you can share your thoughts and concerns openly. I'll take the time to understand your unique background, personal history, and the specific challenges you're facing. We'll discuss your goals for therapy and explore any immediate issues that need attention. I'll also provide an overview of the therapeutic process, addressing any questions you may have. Together, we'll establish a collaborative and personalized approach to meet your needs. You can expect a non-judgmental and empathetic environment, where we work together to gain insights, set objectives, and initiate the journey toward positive change. Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and lay the groundwork for a supportive and effective therapeutic relationship.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my biggest strengths as a therapist is my ability to empathize and show compassion. I believe that by truly listening to your story without judgment, we can gain a deeper understanding of your emotions and experiences. This empathetic approach creates a safe and nurturing environment, fostering a sense of trust and allowing for meaningful therapeutic work. I also find immense value in instilling hope and helping you discover a sense of purpose and meaning in life. Together, we can embark on a transformative journey towards healing and personal growth. Remember, seeking therapy is a courageous step towards a brighter future. If you're ready to embark on this transformative journey, I am here to support you every step of the way.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As an LMFT, my experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves a client-centered approach to address various mental health concerns. I utilize evidence-based techniques, including assessment, education, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral strategies. Through collaborative goal-setting, I assist clients in challenging negative thought patterns, developing effective coping mechanisms, and implementing practical solutions. Homework assignments and mindfulness techniques are integrated to reinforce learning between sessions. My practice is dedicated to fostering positive change and empowering individuals to manage their thoughts and behaviors for improved mental well-being.

Humanistic

With a focus on Humanistic approach, my practice emphasizes a person-centered and empathetic approach. Drawing from my experience, I create a supportive and non-judgmental space for clients to explore self-awareness, personal growth, and authenticity. Utilizing Humanistic techniques, I facilitate a holistic understanding of individuals, encouraging them to tap into their own resources for positive change. My approach is centered on fostering a therapeutic alliance that promotes self-acceptance, empowerment, and the realization of each person's unique potential.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal family systems informed: I guide clients in exploring and integrate different aspects of their internal selves. Through this approach, I help individuals resolve inner conflicts, foster self-compassion, and promote emotional well-being. My practice centers on creating a space for transformative healing through a concise and empathetic process.

Attachment-based

I help guide individuals in exploring their attachment patterns to promote secure connections and emotional well-being. Utilizing Attachment-Based techniques, I work collaboratively with clients to enhance self-awareness, improve relationship dynamics, and foster a secure foundation for personal growth. My approach is dedicated to creating a supportive space for individuals to navigate and heal attachment-related challenges.
