I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I received my master's degree and PhD in that field. I specialize in working with individuals and couples. I have almost 7 years of experience practicing on my own. I usually work with couples who are wanting to improve on navigating conflict and increasing their connection. I also work with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma.
My approach to therapy is centered on what you are feeling. The more you understand what you are feeling and have the words to share that, the better you will progress in therapy to reach your goals. I will help you understand the emotions that are under the surface so you can really know what your needs are.
The first session will start with you sharing your goals for therapy. You may not know what these are, but we will have plenty of time to define what you are trying to change or improve on. Therapy is not about me talking at you, but working with you. You are a large part of your own healing. You may not see that right now, but as we work together you will gain a greater sense of individual capability to find your own solutions.
