Personal Statement
I am a Humanistic Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with 19 years experience in the areas of: anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, women’s issues, parenting, mindfulness and anger. I utilize strength and evidence based approaches that include mind and body. I serve adults, young adults, teens, couples, and families. I love what I do because connecting with others in confidential, meaningful ways is of great importance and value to me.
I dont make assumptions about you or your experiences. I believe every human being has an innate drive/force not just to survive, although sometimes that is all we have to give, but also to thrive~ find our place/purpose in the world, to be understood and feel connected to others. I lead my sessions from a place of compassion and curiosity so we can determine your current stage of development, take stock of your unmet needs, strengths, and those qualities that make you wonderfully unique, so we can begin equipping you to create the change you desire.
I am transparent, direct and collaborative in my interactions to achieve our ultimate goal, do what is best for YOU. My hope and intent is to interact with you in a way I would want for a loved one or myself: to consistently feel heard and understood, hopeful about goals and coping skills to address immediate distress.
