Can I help you ?

Anxiety and depression
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
people that have survived abuse and traumas,
sleep disorders
addictions, anger problems and avoidance.

Approach
Approach
My approach is solution-focused and client-centered. This also means that people will be in a safe empathic environment that is client driven and is action oriented. I personalize therapy for each client’s specific needs. My approach also challenges distorted perceptions and changes destructive patterns of behavior. I use Genograms (like family trees) to assist in understanding a client’s family system. My approach will provide “aha” moments with self-discoveries towards helping with the healing process. I also operate from a family systems perspective. This kind of approach helps with individual happiness and helps improve relationships.
Therapeutic Focus
Therapeutic Focus
I use mindfulness-based exercises such as journaling, painting, music, relaxation training, sandtray therapy, play therapy, grounding, bi-lateral stimulation, motivational self-talk, and learning new effective ways of coping.
I also integrate person-centered therapy, positive psychology, solution-focused therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), narrative therapy, attachment theory, somatic therapy, and psycho-education.
