I am a licensed Clinical Therapist with a Doctorate Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I work with families, couples and individuals. My areas of work and focus include working with individuals diagnosed depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder and with issues such as, marital and family conflict, trauma, medical issues, school issues, work stressors, substance abuse and physical and emotional abuse.
I use the Systems Approach to therapy. Unhealthy patterns of communication and behaviors that escalate and perpetuate conflict are identified in order to solve problems. The result is a change in behaviors and communication in relationships that will promote healthy and positive outcomes.
The Systems Approach applies to individuals, couples and families with a variety of issues.
I create a warm, accepting, non-judgmental environment for my clients where they feel comfortable in discussing their feelings and issue openly.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative process between the Therapist and Client with the goal of changing behaviors and communication patterns so that positive change can occur. The goal of therapy is to resolve issues so that you can improve your overall mental health and well-being
