Throughout my experience, I have learned that healing is a process. Thus, as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT134092) who is under the supervision of Briana Smith, LMFT (LMFT117210), I believe in being engaged and dedicated to providing growth and healing. I have a true passion and heart for the work that I do and care deeply for all individuals that I work with. I believe in cultivating a safe, open and non-judgmental environment in order for individuals to feel comfortable expressing themselves in order to work through difficult issues. Likewise, I am dedicated to working with adults who are experiencing issues like depression, anxiety, relationship issues, childhood abuse, and PTSD.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, empathic, and unique. I have been trained in eye movement desensitization reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and implement this tool when needed. When working with couples, I predominantly offer approaches through Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman Method. As well, I am trained in Prepare Enrich.
I truly believe that everyone deserves to uncover the parts of self that have been stifled by the various stressors and challenges of life. My desire is to empower my clients to begin to build the life they truly wish for and envision. I am so happy you are here and beginning your journey to healing.
