Primarily, I implement Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy in working with families, the Gottman Method with couples and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing with individuals.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. When thinking about the stages of change, I prefer to meet clients where they are; and am willing to work at a pace they feel comfortable with at the start of treatment. Individuals come to treatment with a myriad of goals and needs. Specific issues may be difficult to pinpoint. However, one of my goals in the overall process is to see clients who are open to changing their current dynamic or patterns, with the hope of a more favorable outcome.

Are you overwhelmed by work, school, or family? Does the thought of what is coming next make you feel panicked or stressed? Work, school, and family stressors can compromise our mental health. If you are experiencing chronic stress from work, school or family, it may lead to burnout. Being overwhelmed can lead to symptoms like exhaustion, negative feelings, feeling low or down. Stress affects us mentally, emotionally, and physically. Psychotherapy can address thoughts, feelings, moods, and negative thinking patterns and teach you skills to manage life. Are you ready to start to manage your life and work through those stressors?
