About My Clients
Each individual, couple, and family have unique circumstances and personal aspects to bring to the therapy process. You are recognizing it would be helpful to talk with someone that can help sort out the thoughts, emotions, and life situations that led you here. Working together we can determine what is significant your journey. We will build a relationship that is safe and open to explore vulnerable aspects of your life that will improve coping skills and create lasting change.
My Background and Approach
Clients I have had the privilege to work with have presented with anxiety, depression, BPD, couples work, emotional dysregulation, adjustment disorders, grief group work, family relationship difficulties, ADHD, ODD, personality disorders, and behavioral issues. I am guided and trained in several techniques that permit me to personalize the therapeutic process to my client’s needs. The approach that I take to therapy is guided by Person Centered Therapy, directed and focused on the client(s); Attachment Theory, examining family dynamics and how those relationships impact current relationships and thought processes; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), examining thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to uncover unhealthy patterns and reach client determined goals; and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), utilizing mindfulness, interpersonal examination, emotion regulation, and acceptance to build healthy coping and processing skills.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that people have the capacity to navigate the challenges they face in life. I also believe people have the capability to choose their perspectives and access the tools that can assist them in developing a better scope of mental health. As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I will provide a compassionate and empathetic professional relationship that can be utilized for exploration and growth, a safe place to learn and grow without judgement. In therapy and in life I have seen people improve in different ways. Overall, it is substantial for people to have the ability to share vulnerable, intimate emotions with another individual and begin developing in ways they were not able to before. When we can examine dynamics or systems that otherwise the client may not be aware of, it is possible to change the structure, boundaries, coping tools, emotional regulation, relationship patterns, and other elements that are contributing to being stuck in unhealthy mindsets and interactions.
