As a passionate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am focused on helping clients build resilience to become the best version of themselves. I have years of counseling experience working with a diverse population of families, couples, and children with a range of diagnoses and/or adversities. Recently, I have refined my skills to primarily work with teens and adults ranging from ages 16 to 65.
I am dedicated to helping clients develop resilience through emotional intelligence, effective coping skills, healthy boundaries, and improved self-esteem. While I primarily incorporate trauma-informed, cognitive-behavioral therapy, along with solution-focused therapy techniques, I am, however, flexible in utilizing my skill set to better fit the clients' needs. This allows clients insight into their own strengths and resources to function successfully.
Within our first session, I will assess clients systemically and help them identify their goals. From there, we will collaboratively outline a SMART goal treatment plan in the following sessions. I value directness and honesty, believing that these are key principles in building a strong therapeutic alliance. Clients will have the opportunity to share their story and struggles in a safe, non-judgmental space. I believe that being open-minded will provide clients with the security to be vulnerable and grow to accomplish their goals.
