As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my approach is genuine and sincere. My focus is to help clients recognize and manage emotions, encourage ways to effectively express what they are feeling and introduce fun and effective coping strategies. Throughout my work with children, teens, and adults, it has been essential to communicate empathy as I build trust and teach the cognitive and relaxation skills necessary to help manage depression, grief, episodes of abuse, adjustment, and anger issues. To support the whole family, I attend to parents through parent sessions and teach skills to enhance/improve communication.
My outpatient experience includes working with children, teens, individuals, and couples counseling. I utilize a combination of CBT, Mindfulness Meditation, Sandtray/Play Therapy, and Creative Art Interventions to support clients experiencing mental health issues including, but not limited to, attachment and adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and substance use disorders. I am currently pursing my certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.
I look forward to meeting you and am happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Please feel comfortable calling me. Thank you!
