About me
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than five years experience in providing therapy for individuals, couples, and families. My experience include working with a diverse population in regard to age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and other diversity factors.
I believe people have the ability to become their best self mentally, emotionally, and physically. My approach to counseling, therefore, involves genuine interest in your hopes, dreams, goals, and aspirations in order to reach your greatest level of wellness and potential. I take a collaborative approach in identifying your specific goals for counseling and guide you toward them. I am a strengths-based therapist who utilizes the positive aspects of your life to build resiliency, restores hope, and open the door for new perspectives. I identify opportunities for growth and will challenge you in a nurturing and empathetic manner as you acquire and implement new patterns of thinking and behavior.
My primary counseling modalities include Bowenian (personal growth and development), experiential, structural and strategic, with a systems approach, or the idea that a person is best understood by the contexts in with they live and relate with other people. However, due to the unique needs and circumstances of every individual, I will use different methods of therapy based on those needs.
