My Approach to Helping
I believe that emotional insights are the cornerstone of therapeutic change and growth. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide my clients with a safe space to navigate their journey toward health, happiness, and healing. My clients range from teens to seniors, encompassing individuals, families, and couples from diverse cultural, socio-economic, and demographic backgrounds.
Now in my 60’s, I bring a wealth of wisdom and a lifetime of experience to my practice. I have faced numerous challenges, including divorce, anxiety, substance abuse, cancer survival, family dysfunction, financial instability, encounters with the justice system, childhood abuse, traumatic events, job loss, parenting struggles, and the deaths of loved ones. These life crises have shaped me, and through my own therapeutic journey, I have found healing. Now, as a therapist, I am dedicated to helping others heal and "pay it forward."
Having been a client myself, I understand that trust is a primary concern for new clients. My clients appreciate that I can relate to their experiences, fostering a therapeutic relationship built on empathy and understanding. My practice addresses issues such as anxiety, depression, family dysfunction, relationship conflicts, past trauma, grief, loneliness, life crises, shame, infidelity, self-esteem, aging, body image issues, parenting problems, and divorce.
I approach my work with mindfulness, flexibility, humor, compassion, cheerfulness, empathy, and professionalism. I customize my approach to meet your needs and goals and look forward to helping you on your journey to health, happiness, and healing. Contact me and let's see if we are a good fit!
