Hello. My therapeutic approach honors the past but points to now, and to the future. My goal for you is the "restoration of self" before the pain, with more happiness, and higher functioning in all aspects of your life. Together we will walk through your struggles, and we will come to the other side back to who you are; stronger, happier, and better able to deal with this thing called life, whether it is for you, as a couple, or family. Give yourself a chance to reclaim who you are and want to be.
My approach
Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Adlerian, Experiential, Attachment, Solution Focused, Imago, Gottman.
My focus
I work with individuals, families, and couples. I also work with adolescents and adoption-related issues such as attachment.
My communication style
You will find me empathetic but direct. Working with me will feel challenging yet you will know that I am with you on this journey you are on.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have witnessed how painful events and memories when left untreated can create a life of despair, uncertainty, and low self-esteem. Witnessing these became my driving force to be a therapist.
My goals for you
Homework and progress summaries fueled by a gentle but firm push.
My first session with you
Our first will be 15 minutes of getting to know each other then we are jumping into the deep end of the pool.
