As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience, I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help adults find strategies so they can consistently show up the way they want. My specialties are stress, personal growth/self-esteem, and general relationship challenges.
As a creative Fil-Am therapist, I am committed to being fully present so that you can know that, when you feel inadequate, you have someone curious to explore that feeling with you rather than prescribe you cookie-cutter wisdom. I aim to be a therapist who sees you as capable AND human at the same time.
Our first session is typically gathering current symptoms and historical information about you in order to have a baseline of your mental health (it may feel like a lot for information at once but it's totally normal!). I usually do so in a less structured manner so that it feels more like a conversation than an inquisition. During our first session, I also work with you to identify what brought you into therapy and how you would know it's time to end therapy (my way of asking about your therapy goals),
