As a marriage counselor, my role is to provide a safe, neutral space for couples to explore their relationship dynamics and work through challenges together. During our sessions, I guide couples through structured conversations that aim to uncover underlying issues, whether they’re related to communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts, or emotional disconnects. I use evidence-based techniques tailored to each couple’s unique needs, such as active listening exercises, conflict resolution strategies, and emotional expression tools, to help partners understand each other more deeply. My goal is not to take sides or assign blame but to facilitate a process where both individuals feel heard and valued. Together, we identify patterns that may be contributing to discord and develop practical, actionable steps to enhance intimacy, trust, and mutual respect, ultimately empowering the couple to build a stronger, healthier relationship.
Drug & Alcohol Addiction Counseling
As a therapist specializing in drug and alcohol addiction counseling, my approach is to support individuals in understanding the root causes of their substance use and to guide them on a path toward recovery. During our sessions, I create a non-judgmental and compassionate environment where clients can openly discuss their struggles, triggers, and motivations. I use a combination of therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention strategies, tailored to the individual’s unique needs and circumstances. Together, we explore the emotional, psychological, and social factors contributing to the addiction, and work on developing healthier coping mechanisms and lifestyle changes.
Individual Therapy
My primary aim as an individual psychotherapist is to provide a supportive and confidential space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a non-judgmental setting. During our sessions, I work collaboratively with clients to identify their personal challenges, which may include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or self-esteem concerns. I utilize a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, and psychodynamic therapy, depending on the unique needs and goals of the client. Our work together is a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, where we uncover patterns that may be holding the client back and develop practical strategies to address them. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build coping skills, and foster resilience, ultimately empowering them to lead more fulfilling and balanced lives.
PTSD Treatment
When helping clients with PTSD treatment, my focus is on helping individuals process and heal from the traumatic experiences that continue to impact their daily lives. During our sessions, I create a safe, supportive, and empathetic environment where clients can explore their trauma at their own pace. I use evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy, all of which are designed to help clients reframe their traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, and regain a sense of control.
Mood Disorder Treatment
Specializing in mood disorder treatment, my approach is to provide a comprehensive and compassionate framework for individuals struggling with conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related challenges. In our sessions, I work collaboratively with clients to explore their symptoms, triggers, and the impact of their mood disorder on daily functioning and relationships. I employ a variety of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques, tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.
Family Counseling
My goal is to help families navigate challenges and improve their relationships by fostering open communication, understanding, and cooperation among all members. Family counseling sessions provide a safe and neutral space where each person can express their thoughts and feelings, and where we can explore the dynamics and patterns that may be contributing to conflicts or misunderstandings. I use a range of therapeutic approaches, such as systemic family therapy, structural family therapy, and narrative therapy, tailored to the unique needs and goals of the family.
