LMFT, 5 years of experience
I'm a mother to young adults and married for over two+ decades with a professional background and MBA. I understand the complexities of dating, couple hood, family life, parenting, and professional challenges. I specialize in couples therapy & individual therapy for adults. At this time I am taking on new (adult) clients for individual therapy with insurance. I see couples with cash-pay options only.
My goal is to help my clients achieve more satisfying relationships with oneself, children, partner, parents, colleagues, friends, and society. I hope to help clients discover a renewed inner strength, fueled by positive self-talk and a shift in thinking, which translates to a toolbox of practical skills to navigate one’s healing journey and life’s challenges.
I serve as a compassionate guide, seeing clients as the expert of their lives, offering a trusting, relaxed, non-judgmental space for therapy. I join clients where they are at and examine the meaning behind what fuels big emotional reactions and problematic symptoms. If you don't find the session time that works for you on my calendar, please reach out to share your scheduling preferences.
With a trauma-informed lens, I support PTSD, Anxiety, Grief, Life Transitions, Parenting, and Marital and Relationship Issues. Clients can expect personalized treatment plans that aim to improve overall well-being.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I am trained in techniques like Brain spotting, EMDR and TRIP (Trauma Regulation Integration Process). My first priority is to provide clients opportunities to build up internal personal resourcing skills to support emotional stabilization for clients with early relational trauma and/or trauma wounding.
Attachment-based work can support meaning-making in current adult relationships by helping individuals explore how their early attachment experiences influence their emotional patterns and behaviors, fostering deeper understanding and connection. Trained in Terrance Real's Relational Life Therapy.
Focused on identification of strengths, gratitude, mindfulness, positive relationships, and goal-setting to enhance well-being and promote flourishing in individuals during therapy.
Focused strategies to target thought patterns and behaviors, which includes learning new skills to recognize and change negative thought patterns, leading to positive behavioral changes.
Focused on identifying solutions and strengths rather than dwelling on problems by helping to envision a brighter future with goal-setting and manageable actionable steps.
