About My Clients
As a Marriage and Family therapist, my focus is on treating the whole system opposed to only part of the unit; taking into consideration the many various impacts on one's life. My education and experiences have focused on populations including couples, families, and individuals. The areas that I specialize in are eating disorders, marital distress, mental health diagnoses, behavioral health diagnoses, and trauma, and grief.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in the treatment of trauma and anxiety, eating disorders, along with depression, stress management, life transitions, relationship issues, parenting, interpersonal struggles, and work and career issues. My most recent work has been focused on persistent mental illness, relationship distress, and eating disorder recovery. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort in which the client and therapist work jointly to identify barriers to growth, resolve past traumas, and focus on strategies to improve wellness. My approach to counseling is warm, collaborative, supportive, and direct. My belief is that every person has the ability to heal, change and grow. A strong therapeutic relationship encourages trust and allows the client and therapist to work equally in a team approach on difficult issues. As part of this process, I work to create tools and coping skills to fit the needs of each unique person using a variety of techniques.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My mission is to identify barriers to growth, resolve past struggles and focus on strategies to improve wellness, life skills, coping strategies, and interpersonal relationships while helping people of all ages and lifestyles live happier, healthier, and more productive lives. I value: Compassion – help through a focused understanding of others’ emotional states. Trust – create a safe and caring environment. Education – offer new skills and innovative services to complement traditional counseling techniques through ongoing research and training. Collaboration – assist people in harnessing their strengths to overcome patterns of emotional issues and personal struggles to reach their full potential. Diversity – respect the needs of all our clients.
