LMHC, 13 years of experience
As a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of clinical experience, I specialize in a diverse range of adult concerns including but not limited to - Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, ADHD, Grief and Loss, Relationship/Couples Concerns, Post-Partum Depression, Menopause and Neurodivergence which can present unique challenges throughout the life cycle. My approach is rooted in empathy, education and I am passionate about helping individuals recognize their self-worth and live their best lives. I utilize a psychodynamic and family systems approach, emphasizing the importance of relationships and the context of family dynamics in achieving clinical goals. I meet clients where they are, working collaboratively to understand their struggles. By employing a supportive, strength-based framework, I facilitate meaningful progress toward their goals. I believe in the power of genuine connections to create safe spaces for healing and transformation. I employ a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Reality Therapy, ensuring that treatment is tailored to meet each individual’s needs. In addition, I focus on accelerated rapid therapy techniques when appropriate that facilitate faster progress, allowing clients to address their concerns effectively and efficiently. My most profound moments come when I witness the resilience of the human spirit, guiding individuals on their journey to recovery, self-discovery, and empowerment. Together, we can navigate the path to a fulfilling and enriched life. "The wound is the place where the Light enters you." – Rumi
In our first session, please be comfortable about this process - there may be some Q&A but it's a part of it. It's time for someone to listen who can relate, understand, achieve while providing solutions and SMART goals for the future. The first session is the most important. I gather the info to provide you with a treatment plan that works - if you work it.
Having worked with Adults with Mental Health Challenges for the past 13 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I love working with those that are ready to change and if you are not, I will help to explore that as well.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapy approach that is used widely today in addiction treatment.. CBT teaches those in treatment for a substance use disorder (SUD) to find connections between their thoughts, feelings, and actions and increase awareness of how these things impact recovery. CBT is a short-term technique that identifies negative emotions and thoughts to understand the root cause of addiction and other mental health disorders. CBT can be combined with other types of therapy for a more customized treatment plan.
DBT techniques have proven to be effective in treating a number of mental health issues, including bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, and substance abuse. Mindfulness: This is the practice of being fully aware and focused in the present instead of worrying about the past or future. Distress tolerance: This involves understanding and managing your emotions in difficult or stressful situations without responding with harmful behaviors. Interpersonal effectiveness: This means understanding how to ask for what you want and need and setting boundaries while maintaining respect for yourself and others. Emotion regulation: This means understanding, being more aware of and having more control over your emotions.
IFS is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.
