As a licensed marriage and family therapist I know that life is hard. Just when we think we've got it figured out, life throws something new & harder at us. Sometimes our loved ones don't have the capacity/ability/skill set to help us. Therapy helps us move from a stuck place and with me it's somewhere you don't have to put your needs aside and can focus on healing in the way you want. I work with people ages 16 and older as I only offer services via telehealth.
I tend to lean into solution focused, behavioral, and collaborative therapies. These techniques are used to treat a variety of struggles including: depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, substance use disorder, etc. I’m certified in mindfulness which I often utilize. I show up with as much unconditional positive regard as I can because therapy should feel positive, even when it's tough.
The first session is an opportunity for me to learn what brought you to therapy and gives you the chance to get a sense of my therapeutic style and personality. My goal is to create a space that feels safe and allows you to show up authentically and transparently to get the most out of your session. Each person I work with will be a collaborator in their journey so we can work together to arrive at a destination that feels good, maybe even great.
