LMFT, 15 years of experience
I hold licenses as a Clinical Social Worker and a Marriage and Family Therapist, both granted through 15 years of professional practice in Florida. My expertise lies in assisting individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and a range of life challenges. My dream client is someone who is motivated and ready to take action. He or she is ready to show up and do the work.
In our first session, we'll dedicate time to acquaint ourselves. I'll inquire about the factors leading you to seek therapy, addressing any queries you may have. By the session's conclusion, I'll provide my initial insights and a broad overview of the therapeutic journey ahead.
I adhere to a non-judgmental approach rooted in mutual respect and openness. I genuinely consider therapy to be a valuable and potentially transformative experience. My commitment is to support you throughout your journey, aiding you in acquiring the skills and insights essential for cultivating a healthier and more positive mindset.
Many of my clients express a strong desire for self-improvement but frequently lack the necessary tools to translate their aspirations into reality. They commonly find themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and actively seeking ways to instigate positive changes in their lives.
CBT teaches you coping skills to address diverse challenges, concentrating on the impact of thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes on emotions and actions. The approach underscores empowering individuals to become their own therapists. By engaging in exercises during sessions and completing assigned tasks outside of them, clients are guided to cultivate coping skills, enabling them to modify their thought patterns, navigate troublesome emotions, and adjust behaviors autonomously.
Solution-focused brief therapy is a brief therapeutic method that focuses on setting goals and creating strategies to achieve them. Prioritizing the future over the past, this therapy promotes positive change by encouraging individuals to focus on actionable steps and capabilities rather than limitations.
