As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I use Bowen & Gestalt therapy techniques combined with person-centered therapy strength-based with couples, families, groups, and athletes. The therapeutic focus is to help individuals heal, energize, focus, become aware of their inner strengths, and remove mental blockers. Marriage and family therapists treat a wide range of serious clinical problems, including anxiety, depression, marital problems, individual psychological problems, and child-parent conflict. The unit of treatment is based on the set of relationships in which the person is embedded.

Are you struggling to accomplish your goals? Does your mental health make it difficult to get through the day? Is anxiety or depression getting in the way of building close relationships? You want to manage your mental health better and find ways to connect with others so that getting through the day feels joyful. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before but didn’t feel the therapist was a good fit for your needs. Don’t give up. You may need a different approach with a therapist who lets your story guide each session.

Taking that first step towards therapy can feel like stepping into the unknown, especially when you're carrying the heavy weight of stress, grief, trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, and depression. It's natural to feel apprehensive, maybe even fearful, about opening up and seeking help. But let me assure you, you're not alone in this journey. I specialize in walking alongside individuals who are navigating through these complex emotions and experiences. I've seen firsthand the transformative power of therapy—the healing, the growth, the resilience that emerges from even the darkest of places.
