Making it possible for my clients to make healthy decisions, on a path to self-discovery and relationship satisfaction, is my purpose as a therapist. I believe by establishing small goals, to reach a big goal, my clients can form effective solutions to their problems. Through such treatment, I want my clients to realize that something will grow through all they are going through, and it will be them.
It is important to have a safe space to go to when feeling emotionally dysregulated, I hope that I can provide that to my clients. I work with individuals to build on their strengths and foster positive change. I work with families to understand patterns of interactions, and to determine what change needs to happen to make the dysfunctional, functional. Lastly, I work with couples to increase respect and intimacy, ultimately creating a space for honesty and understanding within the context of their relationship.
I am a dedicated Couple and Family Therapist with a proven track record of helping couples and families develop and nurture successful relationships. I am eager to help people at an individual level as well. I am well versed in a wide variety of interventions and treatments to symptom reduce and restore cognitive and mental health. My areas of interest are relationship issues, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, adjustment disorder, life transitions, trauma, and grief and loss. Again, I assist clients to resolve conflict, practice healthy behaviors, and overcome life’s difficulties.
