I use several evidence-based techniques from approaches such as CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, EFT, Christian-based, Positive Psychology, SFBT, Strength-based, & REBT.
Dealing with life can be stressful, which can lead to anxiety, stress, depression & many other emotions. This can leave us feeling completely overwhelmed, with little hope that things will ever get better, but I know that people are capable of extraordinary things when we open our hearts to having someone present through the journey to self-improvement. As a Christian, I believe we're interconnected & life's journey is to be shared with others. As a hospice caregiver, I witness good people at their very worst times. So, I know there's a need for people to feel heard, seen, valued, respected, encouraged & supported.

Some of the types of therapy I do include: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Coaching, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Emotionally Focused, Family Systems, Gestalt, Motivational Interviewing, Solutions Focused Brief Therapy, Person-Centered, Positive Psychology, and Spiritually-Integrated Therapy.
Authenticity is a key component of my life philosophy and my therapeutic treatment philosophy. Being real, genuine, and vulnerable are critical components of any healthy relationship be it with yourself or others. People are often too quick to condemn themselves and struggle to realize their own potential out of fear. There is no judgment here. No right or wrong ways, no lanes to stay in. Only you and your needs. Whatever it is that you are working through or need to work through you do not have to face it alone or suffer in silence anymore. I am here and as a natural-born healer.

Solution-Oriented Therapy with Empathy and Kindness....The problems and dilemmas that you bring to therapy: These are the sparks that will propel you forward towards your healing. We discuss and explore your issues, and then we integrate what you learn into your daily life. We move as slowly or as quickly as you are comfortable with, in an atmosphere that is safe and contained, creating a path to hope, insight and personal strength. After 30 years helping others heal from and handle difficult situations as well as reach their dreams, it is clear to me that taking action steps - even tiny steps - is key to moving forward.

Emotionally Focused Therapists
Who is emotionally focused therapy for?
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is for couples who are emotionally distressed, stuck in an unsatisfying relationship pattern or feeling deeply alienated. They may even believe the relationship is beyond repair. Very often, the partners display intense anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal in the relationship. In addition, EFT is helpful to couples and individuals who have difficulty expressing emotions and those who have trouble regulating emotions.
Why do people need emotionally focused therapy?
People need emotionally focused therapy because the need for others is built into the brain, but the pressures of daily life can erode feelings of love, and couples often do not have the skills to find their way back to the comfort of each other. Instead, they may be stuck in repetitive patterns of anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal. Emotionally focused therapy regards such strong negative feelings as expressions of protest over the loss of connection and turns them into pathways of reconnection.
What happens in emotionally focused therapy?
Over the course of eight to 20 weekly sessions, couples de-escalate their negative emotional reactivity to one another so that they can listen to each other and be responsive to each other’s needs. Then the deep emotional and physical bond is restored, giving partners a sense of comfort and security, which they can use to solve whatever problems come their way. The therapist plays an active role, helping partners understand how anger and withdrawal are actually misguided cries for connection.
What problems does emotionally focused therapy treat?
EFT is designed to help couples stuck in dysfunctional relationship patterns regain closeness and rebuild their relationship. Typically, such couples experience considerable distress, with partners feeling alienated and distrustful of one another, not certain their relationship can survive. EFT is also helpful to individuals experiencing attachment-related fears of loss; it helps them learn to use their fears as a way of eliciting the closeness they desire.
