A common myth is that LMFT’s work only with families/couples; I love working with both of those as well as with individuals! I am passionate about working with motivated, open-minded clients willing to be creative in pairing to make shifts in thinking, the handling of emotions, and behavioral responses. I’m less focused on the specifics of the presenting problem and more on a person’s process when dealing with it. This means I feel competent in working with most presentations to include, but not limited to anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, grief, relational conflict, mood swings, etc.
I use systems/relational theory to work with clients and their relationships: relationship to the problem, with other people, and with themselves. We work with how these impact current difficulties and the barriers to facilitating change. My experience has involved the use of many evidenced-based practices (EMDR, DBT, CBT, etc) within this framework.
I see you as the expert in your lived experience while I come alongside as a partner and an agent of change. I am thrilled for you that you have taken this first step to putting YOU on your to-do list; I feel honored when invited to be a part of one’s journey in the way I’ve described. Let’s consult on the phone to see if we would be a good fit for that!
