My goal is to assist you in recognizing your inherent strengths that have been developed as a result of your unique experiences. Everyone comes to this moment with their own set of beliefs, values, morals, and expectations. You are stronger than you think. You are more capable than you think. Oftentimes individuals, couples, and families may not recognize their own resilience and their ability to break toxic cycles that may exist within relationships. Sometimes experiences can overwhelm us, and make us feel that we don’t know the way forward. The process of therapy is turning those overwhelming feelings into a road map.
My therapeutic approach is to facilitate a collaborative process that actively works with you to establish your goals. Although my approach is integrative in nature, I most frequently use Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Internal and external struggles can develop early and can often require coping strategies and safety measures just to function in everyday life. I pride myself on assisting clients in identifying triggers that lead to negative emotions, while also developing skills that can lead to healthy outcomes and a clearer understanding of one's value-centered purpose.
